While Paden High School spends significantly more per student ($14,903) compared to Paden Elementary School ($7,206), the data suggests that the high school's performance has declined over the years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2014-2015 to a 2-star rating in 2022-2023. This could be an area of concern that warrants further investigation.
