However, the schools in the 51401 zip code area face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of around 21.6% and relatively high free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 30.83% at Carroll High School to 40.05% at Fairview Elementary School. These factors may impact student performance and resource needs, suggesting that the Carroll Community School District could benefit from a closer examination of attendance and funding allocation to ensure equitable support for all students.
