The data reveals standout schools like Lindbergh Elementary, which has the highest proficiency rates in the area, and Community Middle, which also leads in academic performance.

While the elementary and middle schools generally perform better than the high schools, there are significant gaps in performance, with the alternative Little Falls Continuing Education school standing out for its low proficiency rates and graduation rates.

Factors like free/reduced lunch rates, student-teacher ratios, and racial diversity vary across the schools, with Lindbergh Elementary and Lincoln Elementary having the highest percentages of non-white students. The smaller alternative schools, such as SUN Program and the WIN schools, have unique student populations and high student-teacher ratios, suggesting specialized programs or targeted support.
