A notable bright spot is the school's Algebra I program, where 64% of test-takers were proficient in 2025-2026, exceeding the state average of 54.03%. This creates a stark contrast with the low grade-level math scores, suggesting strong support for advanced students but widespread struggles for the general population. The school also maintains a 0.0% dropout rate, a positive indicator of student retention. With a student-teacher ratio of 21.3:1 and per-student spending of $12,407, the data raises questions about how resources are allocated to improve core instruction for the majority of students.
