Because there is only one school here, comparisons are to district and state averages — and completion outcomes are the standout strength. The school's 97.2% graduation rate is well above the state's 92.0%, and its 0.3% dropout rate is far below the state's 1.1%. Forward Exam math results are also strong: 7th grade math is 62.67% proficient, 7.00 points above the state, and 8th grade math is 57.52%, 3.85 points above. Tenth grade social studies sits slightly above state at 50%. Several Forward subjects improved year over year, with 8th grade math climbing from 44.93% to 57.52%.
Concerns center on attendance and high school readiness. Chronic absenteeism is 21.6%, above the district's 17.1% and the state's 17.3%. Eighth grade ELA (48.67%) and social studies (58.41%) trail the state, and 10th grade ACT scores fell below state in all three subjects in 2025–2026 after being above state the prior year — math at 31.39% versus 42.93% state, and science at 30.66% versus 43.20%. The district carries 1 star and ranks 318th of 432; the school ranked 332nd of 533 (38th percentile, 2 stars), down from 3 stars in 2024–2025.
