While McCormick Elementary outperforms the state and district averages in many areas, the data suggests some potential equity concerns. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% is higher than the state average, and the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 26.19%, is lower than the state average. However, the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($11,900) and lower-than-average student-teacher ratio (12.9) indicate that it has access to significant resources, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
