The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 8.0%. In contrast, Salt Fork High School has a higher graduation rate of 82.8%, but also underperforms on the SAT with proficiency rates below the district and state. The high school has an even higher chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2%.
Financially, Salt Fork North Elementary School spends less per student ($11,466) compared to Salt Fork High School ($12,584), which may suggest an imbalance in resource allocation.
