The most notable pattern is the "8th Grade Bounce," where 8th graders dramatically outperform 6th and 7th graders. In 2025-2026, 62.83% of 8th graders were proficient in Reading (vs. 58.69% state) and 58.18% in Math (vs. 47.24% state), while 6th and 7th grade scores were well below state averages. This suggests strong 8th-grade instruction or a unique cohort. However, general math proficiency in 6th and 7th grade is a weakness, with only 27.36% and 18.75% proficient, respectively. Year-over-year data shows significant volatility, such as 8th Grade Math jumping from 45.28% to 58.18%, while 7th Grade Math dropped from 24.71% to 18.75%. This volatility may stem from small class sizes or curriculum changes. Despite good resources, the school's average overall performance indicates challenges in foundational 6th and 7th grade programs.
