Camino Polytechnic's low chronic absenteeism rate of 0% also suggests a highly engaged student population, and its smaller student-teacher ratio of 9.9 compared to Camino Elementary's 19.9 may be a contributing factor to its academic success.

Overall, the data highlights the potential for public charter schools to provide innovative educational approaches and achieve strong academic outcomes, while also underscoring the importance of consistent performance and stable educational environments, as exemplified by Camino Elementary's reliable 3-star rating. Further analysis of the specific educational practices and support systems at each school could provide valuable insights into the factors driving their respective performance levels.
