While the school's performance on the Milestones Assessment is mixed, with some subject areas showing stronger proficiency rates than the state average, others lag behind.

The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,061, which is higher than the state average. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.6 is slightly higher than the state average, which may impact the level of individual attention and support available to students.

The school's high poverty rate and slightly higher student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
