St John Elementary is a consistent standout, earning a 4-star rating with math scores significantly above state averages. St John/Endicott High shows an improving trend with strengths in English and science, though it faces a notable challenge with a historically high dropout rate.

Key areas for attention include understanding the high school dropout rate and the wide gap in resource allocation between the two school levels.
