Mayberry School, generally perform better than Silver Lane School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as lower rates of chronic absenteeism and a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the underlying issues at Silver Lane School will require a comprehensive, long-term strategy to improve educational outcomes for the students.
