What happened

Staff reported 2025-26 state test results. The high school improved in every tested subject, and grade 3 reading rose about 23 points, but elementary math 'went down double digits' and science declined.

Why it matters to families

Math skills build year to year, so a big drop at the elementary level can follow students into middle school.
