Science proficiency rates are also low, at 24.3% in 5th grade and 24.1% in 8th grade.
Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges. The school serves a relatively affluent population, with only 3.52% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which could suggest potential equity concerns. Overall, the data highlights the need for a deeper analysis of the factors influencing the school's performance to identify areas for improvement and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
