Additionally, the school had a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending of $10,489 per student, the data suggests that Redkey Elementary School is facing challenges in improving student outcomes. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (52.36%) indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may be contributing to the school's performance. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and support systems could provide more insights into how to address these challenges and improve student success.
