Despite the school's high per-student spending of $33,517 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the district average, its academic performance remains below the district's.
The data set does not provide information about the school's free or reduced-price lunch rates, which could be an important indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population and potentially help explain the school's performance. Overall, the analysis of the data for Creative Minds International PCS suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in academic performance, with consistently lower scores compared to the district average across multiple subject areas and grade levels, as well as a declining ranking and high per-student spending that does not translate into improved student outcomes.
