Across the 10 schools with two years of scores, the average ELA gap stayed about 9 points below the state, while the math gap widened from 2 to 4 points below and the science gap from 1 to 7 points below. Individual results moved differently: Valencia Park Elementary improved in all three subjects, while Johnson Elementary’s science score fell 16 points. Reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures for school year 2024–25 show that high results occurred alongside substantial eligibility: Nye reported 72% and Bethune 72%, while both exceeded the state in all three subjects. These figures are context, not an explanation for results. School grade spans differ, so all-grades comparisons are not grade-adjusted.
