The high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 56.8% to 81.0%, are likely a contributing factor to the low academic performance. Additionally, the schools serve predominantly African American student populations from low-income families, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. These demographic and socioeconomic factors are often associated with educational disparities and may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the student population.
