Crescent Valley Elementary, with just 32 students, has no rank history and all of its test scores are suppressed for privacy, so its academic performance cannot be judged from this data. It has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (40.62%), the highest per-student spending ($48,347) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (8). Its chronic absenteeism is 25.8%, above the district's 15.9% and slightly above the state's 25.5%, while Eureka Elementary (13.2%) and Eureka County High (15.8%) keep absenteeism low. Reading is a clear strength across the district, and many suppressed figures should be read as unknown rather than as weaknesses.
