Student Progress

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

College Readiness

This school is about the same as the state average in key measures of college and career readiness, but depending on the state, average can mean only a minority of students are ready for college and career.

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