The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.0% is also an area that may need attention, as it can impact student learning and achievement.

Overall, the data suggests that Mark Twain Junior High has some strengths, but also faces challenges in maintaining student performance as they move through the middle school grades, as well as addressing issues like chronic absenteeism and supporting economically disadvantaged students.
