Washington School and Yantacaw School, both elementary schools, also earn 4-star ratings and rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with strengths in English Language Arts and math, respectively.

While the district generally outperforms the state average on assessments, especially in English Language Arts, there is some variation in math scores across the schools. Additionally, the district faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, which could impact student learning. The district also shows significant differences in spending per student, ranging from $11,239 to $15,810 per student, which may warrant further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation.
