Resources differ too — the middle school spends the most per student ($18,579) with the smallest enrollment, the high school has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.0), and the elementary school has the highest (17.8) yet still posts outstanding results. The high school also reports 98.26% free/reduced-price lunch while graduating 100% of its students.
