Science was also strong at 72.97%, exceeding both district and state results. Mathematics was solid compared with the state, at 60.42%, but it was less competitive with top nearby schools. Math proficiency fell from 67.44% in sixth grade to 53.38% in eighth grade, making upper-grade math the school’s main opportunity for improvement. By comparison, Hamilton International Middle School, Whitman Middle School, and Eckstein Middle School posted notably higher math results.
