While Carey Ridge Elementary's academic performance is strong, the school faces some challenges. Chronic absenteeism has increased from 7.9% in 2021-2022 to 19.2% in 2022-2023, which is concerning and warrants further investigation.

Despite these challenges, the school has increased its per-student spending from $11,348 in 2020-2021 to $14,964 in 2023-2024, and the student-teacher ratio has decreased from 16.5 in 2021-2022 to 14.4 in 2023-2024, suggesting a focus on supporting student learning and well-being.
