Results vary notably by grade. Third grade was the strongest area, with 65.22% proficiency in English language arts and 71.74% in math—the school’s highest reported result. Fifth- and eighth-grade science also exceeded state rates, at 65.96% and 55.56%, respectively. The clearest concern is sixth-grade math, where only 27.27% of students were proficient, 12.52 points below the state rate, despite strong sixth-grade English language arts performance. Compared with the district, the school was slightly stronger in math but trailed in English language arts and science. Families should therefore see the school as generally solid, with particularly strong science and literacy results, while seeking more information about math support and the uneven sixth-grade outcomes.
