Additionally, the schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, ranging from 65.37% to 78.06% free and reduced-price lunch rates. While the schools have relatively high per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratios, addressing the root causes of low performance, such as chronic absenteeism and effective resource allocation, could be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in this community.
