Walton Elementary/Middle School's student performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 22.2% to 63.6% in math and 38.5% to 63.6% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 32.8% to 53% in math and 43.4% to 50.3% in ELA.
