Despite South Gray High's smaller student-teacher ratio of 6.5 and higher spending per student of $23,719, compared to Montezuma Elementary's 12.3 student-teacher ratio and $17,462 per student, these factors do not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The higher free/reduced lunch rate at South Gray High (35.94%) compared to Montezuma Elementary (30.85%) may be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance.
