GreatSchools Summary Rating

Test Scores above average Student Progress below average College Readiness below average Last updated: Oct 10, 2023 ADVERTISEMENT

Student Progress

Students at this school are making less academic progress given where they were last year, compared to similar students in the state.

Low progress with high test scores means students have strong academic skills but that students in this school are making smaller gains than similar students in other schools.

College Readiness

This school is below the state average in key measures of college and career readiness.

(Remember: high graduation rates don't mean much if students are graduating without the coursework and test scores they need to succeed.)
