Like the high school, the elementary school also has generally lower proficiency rates compared to state averages, and an even higher free/reduced lunch rate of 63.31%. Both schools spend above $11,000 per student and have relatively small student-teacher ratios, suggesting a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource utilization and explore ways to optimize the impact of available funds.
