Barbour Two-Way Lang Immersion is the highest-performing school, with the best test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. This elementary school also has a relatively lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools. In contrast, Washington Elementary, Ellis Elementary, and Julia Lathrop Elementary have the lowest proficiency rates across all subjects.
Chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across the schools, ranging from 19.9% at Barbour Two-Way Lang Immersion to 64.1% at Legacy Academy of Excellence Charter. Additionally, all the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While spending per student varies, it does not seem to directly correlate with academic performance, suggesting that effective resource allocation and targeted interventions may be more important factors in supporting student learning.
