While the school's academic performance is impressive, the high chronic absenteeism rate and the economic challenges faced by a significant portion of its students are areas that warrant further attention and targeted interventions to ensure the continued success and well-being of the school's students. Overall, Lee Elementary School stands out as a model institution within the Madison District, providing a quality education to its diverse student population despite the district's overall low ranking.
