The most important finding for families is the wide variation between schools, with Manzanita Elementary the clearest academic standout.

Attendance and school context also differ: chronic absenteeism is 6% at Merwin Elementary and 74% at Fairvalley, while all schools report free/reduced lunch eligible for 2024–2025, ranging from 63% at Manzanita to 91% at the Academy. These figures describe differences between schools, not what causes them.
