While the Lena Winslow CUSD 202 schools have maintained consistent high performance, with all three schools earning 4-star ratings, the district faces a potential concern with chronic absenteeism. All three schools had a 25.4% chronic absenteeism rate in 2024-2025, which is higher than the state average. However, the district appears to be allocating resources effectively, with above-average spending per student and relatively small class sizes, which may contribute to the schools' strong academic performance.
