At the high school level, Shabazz-City High has the strongest performance on 10th grade assessments and a relatively low dropout rate compared to East High.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in performance, with schools like Lindbergh Elementary and Mendota Elementary struggling with lower proficiency rates. These differences appear to be correlated with student poverty levels, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.
