Myers Elementary have struggled with lower test scores in English Reading and Mathematics, with scores below the district and state averages in many grade levels.
The data also reveals that the Broadway area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools, ranging from 41.93% to 52.22%. This may be a contributing factor to the academic performance challenges observed at the middle and elementary school levels.
