While these two schools stand out, the data also reveals some concerning trends across the 89120 zip code area. All schools in the dataset had a chronic absenteeism rate of 26.6% in 2024-2025, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, except for Explore Knowledge Academy Elementary School, all schools had 100% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students in the area. These factors may contribute to the overall lower performance compared to state and district averages seen in some of the schools.
