While Lawtey Elementary excels in math, with proficiency rates above the district and state, it struggles with higher-than-average chronic absenteeism and lower-than-average performance in science and some English Language Arts subjects.

The high level of economic need among Lawtey Elementary's student population, as evidenced by a 63.8% free/reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to the school's mixed performance. With per-student spending above the state average and a student-teacher ratio slightly higher than recommended, Lawtey Elementary appears to be working to support its students, but further analysis and comparison to similar schools could provide additional insights into how to best address the school's challenges and build on its strengths.
