The schools in the Ainsworth Community Schools district also show variation in their free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 19.44% at Ainsworth Little Paws Preschool to 55.12% at Ainsworth Elementary School, which may indicate potential equity concerns that the district should address. Additionally, the significant difference in spending per student between the high school ($29,758) and the middle school ($22,226) is an area that warrants further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across grade levels.
