Academically, Pact Charter Secondary outperforms the state average on MCA-III proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science, while PACT Charter Elementary has mixed results, performing above the state average in some grade levels but significantly below in others. Both schools, however, have lower Science proficiency rates compared to Math and Reading.
