In contrast, Sunset Elementary appears to be the lowest-performing school in the data set, with only 20.18% of students proficient in ELA and 10.09% proficient in Math, well below the district and state averages. The high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility across all schools, likely present significant challenges for the schools in this area. Overall, the data highlights the need for continued improvement and support to ensure all students in the Roswell 88203 area have access to a high-quality education.
