The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the challenges faced by Della S. Lindley Elementary, the school's student-teacher ratio of 20.8 is only slightly higher than the state average. However, the lack of diversity in the student population, with relatively low percentages of White (7.19%) and African American (1.54%) students, may limit the exposure of students to different cultural perspectives. Overall, the analysis suggests that the school could benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the academic underperformance and socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population.
