The school's test scores in mathematics and English language arts (ELA) have been mixed, with 3rd-grade math proficiency (37.5%) significantly lower than the district (58.1%) and state (53.2%) averages, but 4th-grade math proficiency (66.7%) higher than both. In ELA, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency (12.5%) was much lower than the district (48.8%) and state (46.3%), but its 4th-grade proficiency (61.9%) was higher than the district (46.9%) and state (46.6%).

Despite the school's declining performance, it appears to have relatively high per-student spending ($13,117) and a low student-teacher ratio (9.9 to 1), which is below the national average. However, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white (98.78%), with very little racial diversity, which may indicate a lack of inclusivity or barriers to access for students of color.
