In Science, Mccleary Elementary's proficiency rate (45.83%) is also below the state average. However, the school's higher spending per student ($18,398) and lower student-teacher ratio (15:1) suggest that the district is investing resources into the school, which could be an area for further exploration.

Despite the school's mixed academic performance, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (65.36%) indicates a significant socioeconomic challenge that may impact student learning. Targeted support and resources for economically disadvantaged students could be an area of focus for the school and district. Additionally, the school's racial/ethnic composition may warrant an examination of equity and inclusion practices to ensure all students have access to high-quality educational opportunities.
