Elton High School has 259 students and a 3.3% dropout rate, while Elton Elementary has 249 students. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 24.6%, which may be contributing to their academic challenges. Elton Elementary has outperformed the high school on math and English Language Arts proficiency, often exceeding the district and state averages. However, Elton High School's math scores have been below the district and state levels in most areas.
Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with Elton Elementary at 64.66% and Elton High at 61.78%. The consistent 14:1 student-teacher ratio across both schools suggests class sizes are relatively small, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture, with the elementary school showing signs of progress while the high school still has room for improvement, particularly in mathematics.
