Despite the academic excellence, the schools in the 24228 zip code face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (88.68% to 90.12%). Additionally, the lack of racial/ethnic diversity in these schools may limit the exposure and experiences of students. The funding disparities, with Ridgeview High spending significantly more per student than the other schools, also raise questions about equitable resource allocation and its potential impact on educational outcomes across the district.
