The data suggests that the schools serving the 63736 zip code area face significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates and low academic proficiency levels, particularly in math and English language arts. The high free/reduced lunch rates at these schools indicate that they serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the academic struggles they face. Understanding the factors that contribute to Kelso Elementary's success and addressing the challenges faced by the other schools in the area could provide valuable insights to improve educational outcomes for all students in the region.
