The school has also seen a decrease in chronic absenteeism rates, from 16.6% in 2022-2023 to 9.9% in 2023-2024, and its spending per student, at $10,339 in the 2018-2019 school year, is in line with the spending of nearby schools and the state average. While Arthur Stanlick Elementary School lags behind White Rock Elementary, the school could potentially benefit from further improving the performance of its White student subgroup to ensure equitable outcomes for all students.
