While the schools in the 13624 zip code area share similar per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios, the data suggests that Guardino Elementary School may need additional support and resources to address its lower academic performance compared to the district and state averages. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools also indicates that the district may need to consider additional strategies to support students from lower-income backgrounds.
