The district's spending per student is relatively consistent across the schools, suggesting an equitable distribution of resources. The low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 6.81% to 16.39%, indicates the Prairie Village community is relatively affluent compared to the state as a whole. However, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% across all schools is a potential area of concern that the district may want to investigate further.
