However, the district's alternative and high schools lag behind the elementary schools in academic performance. The 4-year graduation rate across the district's high schools is 78.4%, with a 5.2% dropout rate. Additionally, 11th-grade students perform 23-30% proficient in math, compared to the state average of 30%. The variation in performance across the district suggests uneven access to quality education, which may be exacerbated by the higher per-student spending at the smaller elementary campuses compared to the larger alternative and high schools.
