While the district as a whole maintains a high level of academic excellence, there are a few areas for potential improvement. All schools in the district reported a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1%, which is higher than the desired target. Additionally, there is a noticeable gap in proficiency rates, particularly in mathematics, between Waverly Intermediate School and Eagle Elementary School, suggesting a need for the district to examine curriculum and teaching methods across its elementary schools.
