The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average and spends $7,118 per student, which is lower than the state average spending per student.

Overall, the data suggests that the Blount County school district is performing reasonably well, with both Cleveland schools ranking in the top quarter to third of their respective school types in the state. This indicates the district may have effective policies and practices that could be worth studying further. The schools serve student populations with relatively high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility, indicating they are serving economically disadvantaged communities, making their strong academic outcomes even more impressive.
