The data reveals a wide range of student-teacher ratios, from 10.2 to 17.0, with the lower ratios generally corresponding to higher-performing schools. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern across the schools, ranging from 21.6% to 32.7%, with Americana Elementary School having the highest rate. The schools also vary significantly in their free and reduced lunch rates, from 48.38% to 66.26%, with Black Hawk Elementary School and G Stanley Hall Elementary School having the highest rates.
Overall, the data suggests that the quality of education and resources may vary significantly between the two school districts, with the Queen Bee district schools outperforming the Marquardt district schools. Addressing the factors contributing to chronic absenteeism and exploring the potential relationship between student-teacher ratios and academic performance could be important areas of focus for these schools and districts.
