The main weakness is 5th grade math: 40.85% vs. 51.81% in 2025–2026 and 39.68% vs. 52.58% in 2024–2025. 5th grade ELA also fell sharply, from 63.49% to 49.3%, and 8th grade math dropped from 75% to 59.38%, though it remained above state. 7th grade ELA was below state in both years. In 2025–2026, the school was above the state in 7 of 10 reported tests; in 2024–2025, it was above in 8 of 10.

Overall, this is a solid, top-third school with strong 8th grade outcomes and good engagement metrics, but its performance varies by grade and subject, with 5th grade math and recent 5th grade ELA as areas to watch.
