However, the school's fluctuating school ranking, from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in 2022-2023, indicates some instability or variability in the school's performance over time. Further analysis and comparison to similar schools or districts could provide additional insights into the school's strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
