How to read this page

  • Test scores measure one week in April. They say nothing about the art room, recess or whether your child will be happy. Tour the school.
  • Averages hide gaps. In 2026, students in special education here scored 21% in reading (121 tested), compared with 55% schoolwide. If that's your family, ask how the school will support your child.
  • This school serves elementary and middle grades, so its scores blend both. Compare it with K–5 schools carefully.
