Key metrics highlight a school with strong potential and some notable challenges. The student-teacher ratio is an excellent 9.4:1, allowing for small class sizes and individualized attention, while 73.15% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a high level of economic need. The school boasts a 0.0% dropout rate and spends $11,617 per student. Academically, the school shows a dramatic split: Mathematics is a clear strength, with 6th and 7th graders significantly outperforming state averages in 2024-2025 (e.g., 60.47% vs. 37.68% in 6th grade math). However, 8th Grade Social Studies is a critical weakness, with only 12.96% of students proficient compared to the state average of 29.64%.
Year-over-year performance is inconsistent, creating a complex picture. While the school rebounded to the 67th percentile in 2025-2026 after a dip, 7th Grade Math saw a dramatic 33-point decline from 59.18% to 26.32% in the same year. Conversely, 7th Grade Reading jumped 17 points to 65.12%. This volatility suggests that while the school can achieve strong results, particularly in math, it struggles with consistency across subjects and grade levels. The strong math performance, despite high economic disadvantage, is noteworthy, but the persistent weakness in social studies and the sharp math decline in one grade warrant further investigation by parents.
