However, Aloma Elementary's higher spending per student, which has increased from $11,194 in 2021-2022 to $13,568 in 2023-2024, and its lower student-teacher ratio, which has decreased from 16.6 in 2021-2022 to 15.4 in 2023-2024, have not yet translated into significant academic improvements. To address these challenges, the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions to support the unique needs of the Aloma Elementary student population.
