Lawnside School's academic performance is significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, only 12.5% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 42%. In 8th grade Mathematics, just 6.9% of students were proficient, compared to the state average of 17.8%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.0%, which likely contributes to the poor academic outcomes.
Despite the low academic performance, Lawnside School spends a relatively high amount per student ($13,798) compared to the state average, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 12:1. However, these factors have not translated into better educational results for the students, who are predominantly African American and Hispanic. The data suggests that the district and school leadership will need to address significant challenges in terms of equity, student engagement, and overall academic achievement to improve outcomes for the community.
