However, Walters High School's ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 210th out of 307 schools in 2020-2021 to 167th out of 197 schools in 2016-2017. This trend suggests a need for further investigation and potential improvements. Additionally, the district's schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 47.45% at the high school to 64.6% at the elementary school. Understanding and addressing the unique challenges faced by these students could be crucial for the district's continued success.
