Another strong performer is Madison School, an elementary school with 45.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 33.7% in Mathematics. However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps, with some schools, such as Greenwood Elementary, struggling, with only 19.5% of students proficient or better in Mathematics.
Across the district, schools face challenges related to high poverty levels, as indicated by the high free/reduced lunch rates, and consistently high chronic absenteeism rates. These factors likely contribute to the disparities in academic performance observed between the schools and the district/state averages.
