The district faces some challenges, including high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, which suggest many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Additionally, the relatively high student-teacher ratios, particularly at the high school level, could indicate challenges in attracting and retaining qualified teachers, which may affect the quality of instruction and student outcomes. However, the district is making progress in some areas, such as the improvement in middle school performance, with Luray Middle moving from a 1-star to a 3-star rating.
