Cascade Elementary School also improved substantially during the most recent year.
Lindbergh Senior High School has a mixed profile: its 65.23% ELA proficiency and 84.6% graduation rate exceed state results, but math, science, and dropout outcomes need closer attention. At the lower end, Meeker Middle School, Renton Park Elementary School, Honey Dew Elementary, and Impact | Black River Elementary have lower current proficiency, although several show improvement in selected subjects or ranking trends. Families should also consider enrollment, student-teacher ratios, program offerings, and year-to-year trends rather than relying on one score.
