The district faces some challenges, with overall test scores lagging behind state averages, but there are also some standout schools that are performing well above the district and state levels.

Edison Elementary School is the highest-performing school in the district, with 60.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 37.5% proficient or better in Mathematics. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Home Elementary School also stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts, with 54.7% of students proficient or better. Meanwhile, Washington Middle School has the lowest test scores in the district, with only 35.7% proficient or better in ELA and 17.7% in Math.

The district as a whole faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% across all schools, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools in the district have high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.11% to 83.87%. This suggests the district serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may require additional resources and targeted interventions to support student learning. The district also has variations in per-student spending, from $18,771 at Home Elementary to $22,773 at Costello School, which may need to be addressed to ensure equitable funding and support for all students.
