The district exhibits a wide range of performance among its individual schools, with the highest-performing schools being among the best in the state and the lower-performing schools struggling to meet state averages. Socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates, appear to play a significant role in student outcomes, though the district's strong middle school performance suggests that the solid foundation laid in the earlier grades is translating to success in the later grades.
