This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities. Additionally, the schools with the highest percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch tend to have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates, highlighting the impact of socioeconomic factors on educational outcomes in the 33161 zip code area.
