The schools in the Moreland district (Moreland Middle, Latimer, George C. Payne, and Gussie M. Baker) all perform above the state averages, suggesting the district is effectively supporting its schools. However, there is a noticeable gap in performance between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Latimer, which has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This highlights the challenges that high-poverty schools face and the potential opportunities to learn from the practices of the high-performing schools in the area.
