Despite the school's strong academic performance, its statewide ranking has declined from 186 out of 2,413 elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 759 out of 2,439 in 2022-2023, even though it maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's high spending of $19,800 per student may contribute to its academic success and support for students.
