In contrast, Yale Elementary School and Yale Middle School have consistently maintained a 2 out of 5 star rating and lower rankings within the state. All three schools in the Yale district have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 66.67% to 71.86%, suggesting that the community faces socioeconomic challenges that may impact educational outcomes. The significant difference in spending per student between the high school and elementary school may also contribute to the observed differences in academic performance and school ratings.
