The school's spending of $7,526 per student in the 2018-2019 school year is on the lower end, which could be a factor in the school's performance and the resources available to support student learning.
Overall, the data suggests that Caney Valley Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, with declining statewide rankings, low test scores, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty levels.
