The biggest attendance challenge is at Crown Point High School, where chronic absenteeism is 18.0% — above the district's 13.2% and the state's 16.7% — and Biology EOC proficiency is 47.43% against the district's 55.5%. Colonel John Wheeler Middle School is next at 16.9%, and both middle schools trail the district's all-grade Math and Science figures. The lowest absenteeism rates are at Eisenhower Elementary (6.8%), Lake Street Elementary (7.0%), MacArthur Elementary (7.5%), and Solon Robinson Elementary (7.6%), and those schools also tend to post the strongest outcomes.

Per-student spending is narrow across the district, from $11,007 to $12,333, and does not track simply with achievement.
