However, the school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, indicating that its performance may be variable.
Despite the school's academic strengths, it faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 92.68% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Additionally, the school has room for improvement in areas such as 5th grade Math and Science proficiency, which are relatively low compared to the state averages.
