Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and socioeconomic factors, with 30% of Steeleville High School students and 42.5% of Steeleville Elementary School students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district's overall low ranking suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the performance gaps between the two schools and the implementation of strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of attendance and Mathematics.
