The data also reveals a clear correlation between poverty and low academic performance. Schools with the highest rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, often over 80%, tend to have the lowest test scores and graduation rates. This highlights the significant challenges faced by high-poverty schools in the Redford area.
