While the district's schools generally perform below the state averages on the ISASP tests, particularly in the elementary grades, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients across the schools suggest a need for additional resources and support to address potential socioeconomic challenges faced by the students. The relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 10.6 at the middle school to 14.1 at the high school, indicate a focus on smaller class sizes, which can be beneficial for student learning and engagement.
