However, the data also reveals areas of concern across the district. All 3 schools have seen declines in their statewide rankings and SchoolDigger ratings over the past 3 years, indicating potential performance issues. Additionally, high chronic absenteeism rates, especially at the high school level, may be impacting student achievement. While Zeigler-Royalton Elementary School outperforms in some areas, the other two schools lag behind, suggesting equity and resource allocation challenges. The high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools also indicate a significant economically disadvantaged student population, which may require additional support and resources.
