A few schools stand out as performing better than the rest, including Garrett Elementary, Lawson Elementary, McNair Elementary, and Russell Elementary.

Additionally, the schools have a wide range of per-student spending, from $11,694 to $14,696, which may indicate funding disparities that could be impacting student outcomes.
