However, the school's Algebra I proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state averages.
The school's chronic absenteeism rate for the 2022-2023 school year was 16.6%, which is a metric to monitor. Additionally, the school's relatively low science proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages suggest an area for improvement. Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1, which could be an asset in supporting student learning and development.
