The student-teacher ratio is 17.5:1, spending per student is $9,436, and the dropout rate is 0.0%.
One critical area for focus is a significant drop in math proficiency for 7th graders, with only 41.3% proficient compared to 64.43% in 6th grade and 84.24% in 8th grade. This pattern suggests the transition to 7th-grade math curriculum is a major hurdle. Additionally, social studies is a relative weakness, with 8th-grade proficiency at 54.74%, though still above district and state averages. The school serves a predominantly affluent community, with only 14.04% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, providing important context for its high performance.
