The high poverty level at Rex-Rennert Elementary, with 99.22% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the school's academic challenges. The school's per-student spending of $9,692 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6 for the 2022-2023 school year suggest that the school may need additional resources and support to address the educational needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population.
