However, the district faces a challenge with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, ranging from 23.4% to 23.4% for the 2023-2024 school year. The district's leadership and collaborative efforts appear to be contributing to the overall academic success of the system, as evidenced by the high performance of its schools, but addressing the chronic absenteeism issue may be an area of focus for the district moving forward.
