While both schools have a predominantly white student population, they struggle with low academic performance, high absenteeism rates, and serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges.

Similarly, 3rd graders at J L Hensey Elementary scored 21.2% proficient in Math, well below the state's 33% average. These low test scores indicate a need for targeted interventions to improve academic outcomes.

Additionally, both schools have chronic absenteeism rates higher than the state average, which could further contribute to their academic struggles.
