Eastview Senior High stands out with 59.06% of 11th graders proficient or better in math and 73.14% of 10th graders proficient or better in reading. In contrast, some lower-performing schools like FIT Academy and 917 Tea have much lower proficiency rates.

The data also reveals that schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Dakota Ridge School and 917 Tea, tend to have lower test scores and graduation rates, suggesting a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. However, the presence of high-performing magnet and alternative schools, like School of Environmental Studies, demonstrates that targeted educational approaches can help overcome these challenges.
