While the district overall is highly ranked, the data suggests potential equity concerns, with relatively high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, particularly at the elementary schools.

Additionally, the variation in individual school ratings within the district highlights areas for potential improvement to ensure consistent quality across all schools.
