However, the school underperforms the state average in Mathematics, with only 21.1% of students proficient or better, suggesting an opportunity for improvement in this subject area. The school's Science proficiency rate of 26.6% is also slightly below the state average of 27.5%.
While the school's academic performance is generally solid, there are some areas of concern. The lack of diversity in the student population, with very low representation from racial/ethnic groups other than White, may be an issue to address. Additionally, the absence of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to fully assess the school's socioeconomic profile and potential challenges related to student support and resources.
