H H Conrady Junior High School boasts impressive academic achievements, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (85.5%) and Mathematics (67.7%) that significantly exceed the state averages. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.9%.

However, Glen Oaks Elementary does show strong academic performance, with proficiency rates above the state average.
Across the district, the schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with around 60% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the schools are able to achieve strong academic outcomes, particularly at the high-performing H H Conrady Junior High School. The variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggests differences in resource allocation and staffing models, which may contribute to the varying levels of academic performance observed.
