While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with all schools performing below state averages on standardized tests, a few standout schools in the area are worth highlighting.

Montessori Elementary School consistently outperforms the district and state on test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, with 42.4% of students proficient or better compared to 23% for the district and 41.2% for the state. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism rates and a more favorable student-teacher ratio than the other schools in the area.

The data reveals a clear correlation between economic disadvantage, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, and academic performance. Schools with the highest poverty rates, like Jackson Charter School at 80.95%, have the lowest test scores. Chronic absenteeism is also a major issue across the schools, ranging from 12.5% at Montessori Elementary to 44.9% at Eisenhower Middle School and Jackson Charter, likely contributing to the overall academic struggles in the district.
