Across the schools in the 06098 zip code, there are some common trends, including high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 24.57% at Northwestern Regional High School to over 60% at some other schools. This suggests the area serves a relatively economically disadvantaged student population. Additionally, the schools have elevated chronic absenteeism rates, which are higher than the state average, potentially impacting student learning and achievement. Spending per student also varies, from $19,103 at Northwestern Regional High School to $25,751 at Pearson School, indicating that funding may not be the sole driver of academic performance.
