While the schools in the district generally outperform the state averages on standardized tests, there is some variation in elementary school performance, with Friendship Elementary School having lower test scores and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The data also suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role, as schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower test scores. However, the higher spending per student at Friendship Elementary School may indicate the district's efforts to allocate more resources to support the needs of students from lower-income families.
