McColl Elementary/Middle also performs relatively well, with 4th and 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency rates above the district average.

The district also struggles with a lack of progress, as school rankings and proficiency rates have remained relatively stagnant over the past few years. Addressing these issues will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to improve educational outcomes for all students in the district.
