Overall, Joanna Woodson Elementary appears to be facing significant challenges in improving academic outcomes for its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population. However, the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio may be positive factors that could be leveraged to provide targeted interventions and support to help students succeed.
