McDonald Elementary School shows a clear upward trend, with significant year-over-year improvements in 5th-grade Math and Science.

The most pressing issue across the area is chronic absenteeism, with an average rate of 50.5%—far exceeding the district average of 31.4%. Colson Elementary School has the lowest rate at 30.6%, while Lopez Exceptional Center has the highest at 76.1%. Per-student spending varies dramatically, from $8,562 at Armwood High to $53,289 at Lopez Exceptional Center, reflecting the intensive resources needed for specialized populations. The data strongly links high absenteeism with low academic performance, making attendance a critical focus for improvement.
