The school ranks 34th of 643 middle schools in 2025–26 — the 95th percentile, five stars — making it the highest-ranked middle school in its nearby comparison group, ahead of Belleville Middle (43rd), Savanna Oaks Middle (88th), Mount Horeb Middle (102nd), and Oregon Middle (204th). Its long-term trend is strongly upward, from the 70th percentile in 2018–19 to the 93rd–95th percentile in recent years.
