The school's Science proficiency rates are closer to the state average at 50.7%, but still lag behind the state's 65.8%. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 17.7 is slightly higher than the state average, potentially indicating a need for more resources and support for students.

The high per-student spending of $19,084, which is above the state average, does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, raising questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions or support at Mastery Prep Elementary Charter School within the Mastery Prep Elementary Charter School District.
