East Flora Elementary faces some significant challenges, with a student population that is predominantly African American (75.71%) and a very high percentage of students (98.79%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance has been consistently lower than the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1 and higher-than-average spending per student, suggesting that the district is allocating additional resources to support the needs of this school and its student population.

While East Flora Elementary faces these challenges, the data suggests that there is room for improvement in the school's academic performance. Targeted interventions and support may be needed to help the school's students reach proficiency levels that are more in line with the district and state averages. With the right strategies and resources, the school has the potential to provide a high-quality education for the students in the Flora community.
