For parents, the school’s profile is mixed. Chronic absenteeism is low at 7.2%, well below the state’s 17.3%, and classes are small with a 9.4 student-teacher ratio. Per-student spending is high at $17,394, and free/reduced lunch is very low at 2.56%. However, academic proficiency is far below state averages in every subject. The strongest bright spot is 7th grade ELA at 42.86% proficient in 2025–2026, above the district’s 39.02%. The lowest reported score is 8th grade math at 12.82%, compared with 53.67% statewide. 8th grade social studies also fell sharply, from 42.11% in 2024–2025 to 25.64% in 2025–2026.
In 2025–2026, the 8-test overall average was 27.61% proficient, versus 55.51% statewide. ELA averaged 37.71% (state: 54.89%), math 17.10% (state: 54.31%), social studies 25.64% (state: 64.63%), and science 30.77% (state: 51.86%). Year over year, ELA improved from 32.18% to 37.71%, but math fell from 26.04% to 17.10%, social studies dropped from 42.11% to 25.64%, and science slipped from 34.21% to 30.77%. With only 117 students, grade-level results can swing easily, so year-to-year changes should be read with caution. The dropout rate is 2.4%, above the district’s 1.9% and the state’s 1.1%, though this metric is unusual for middle school.
