While Shadowlawn Elementary's academic achievements are noteworthy, the school does face some challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 25.5% to 31.4% over the past few years, is higher than the state average, which may be an area of concern. Additionally, Shadowlawn has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.56% to 53.35% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite these factors, Shadowlawn's consistent performance and additional per-student funding, which ranges from $8,376 to $10,044, may contribute to its success in supporting student growth and achievement.
