While the district as a whole ranks 291 out of 351 in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars, there are some standout schools that demonstrate the potential for stronger academic achievement.

Tilton Elementary School stands out with the highest math proficiency rates in the district, with 51.28% of students proficient or better, significantly above the district and state averages.
