All four schools had chronic absenteeism below the state rate of 23.5% in 2025–2026; rates ranged from 10.5% at Williamstown Elementary to 20.2% at Williamstown Senior High. The clearest overall takeaway is that results vary substantially by school: Mason-Corinth Elementary leads the elementary comparisons, the senior high has the strongest state-relative results, and Williamstown Junior High is below state in every reported latest result.

Mason-Corinth outscored Williamstown Elementary in all five directly comparable 2025–2026 math and reading results: by 23 points in grade 4 math, 7 in grade 5 math, and 8, 12 and 17 points in grades 3, 4 and 5 reading.
