Social Studies 8 was the relative bright spot at 25.13%, though still 20.36 points below the district and 39.50 points below the state. Math 7 showed the largest gap, 43.85 points under the state. Most tested areas did improve over 2024–2025, including ELA 6 (+7.22 points), Science 8 (+5.60), Social Studies 8 (+6.48), and Math 6 (+5.17), but ELA 7 (-4.91) and Math 7 (-0.22) slipped.
Beyond test scores, 34.7% of students are chronically absent — above the district's 27.3% and more than double the state's 17.3%. About three in four students (74.85%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school spends $17,145 per student with a 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio. One clear strength: the dropout rate is 0.4%, lower than the district's 2.0% and the state's 1.1%.
