Academically, Argenta-Oreana Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 32.3% of students proficient or better in ELA, below the district average of 39.8% and the state average of 41.2%. In math, the school had 29.2% of students proficient or better, above the district average of 22.8% but below the state average of 28.4%. However, the school's science performance, with 52.4% of students proficient or better, exceeds both the district and state averages. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is also higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic performance, as nearly half (49.55%) of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's per-student spending of $12,520 for the 2022-2023 school year is in line with the state average, but the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's academic challenges, particularly in ELA and math.
