The high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients (100%) at the majority of the schools in the Andes Central School District 11-1 suggest that the community faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance observed in the district. Additionally, the high dropout rate (11.1%) and low graduation rate (60.0%) at Andes Central High School - 01 are concerning and warrant further investigation to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve student outcomes.
