While the district-level performance on ACT and NSCAS assessments is generally strong, with Northwest High School outperforming the state averages, there is some variation in student-teacher ratios and socioeconomic diversity across the elementary schools. St Libory Elementary School has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 38.92%, compared to 21.16% at Cedar Hollow School and 26.84% at 1r Elementary. These differences in student population and staffing levels may contribute to the varying academic performance observed between the schools.
