The school also earns 5-star ratings across all demographic groups, including Hispanic, White, and both male and female students, demonstrating a school-wide culture of high expectations. Interestingly, while reading scores are consistently excellent (78-84% proficient), math scores are slightly lower (71-76% proficient), suggesting a potential area for growth compared to Patsy Sommer Elementary, which achieves 85-88% math proficiency in a similar community.
