The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 146th out of 368 elementary schools in 2022-2023 (3-star rating) to 291st out of 368 in 2023-2024 (1-star rating), suggesting a need for improvement in overall academic achievement. While the school's per-student spending is higher than the national average and its student-teacher ratio is relatively low, the data does not indicate how effectively these resources are being utilized to drive student outcomes. Without specific information on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, it's difficult to determine the extent to which socioeconomic factors may be influencing the school's performance.
