The higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school compared to the high school could also suggest socioeconomic factors that may impact student performance as they progress through the education system. Overall, the data provides a nuanced view of the educational landscape in Scott Township, with the elementary school emerging as a standout performer and the high school showing both areas of strength and areas for improvement.
