Additionally, the relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 51.82% to 60.96%, suggest the need to consider the impact of socioeconomic factors on student success and ensure that the necessary resources and support are in place to address these challenges. Overall, the West Point schools appear to be providing a quality education, with the elementary and middle schools standing out as particularly strong performers within the state.
