The school's performance is mixed, with strong math proficiency in 3rd and 4th grades but underperformance in English Language Arts across all grades.

Despite the challenges faced by Walters Elementary School, the data suggests the school is doing an effective job teaching math at the lower elementary levels. However, the school should focus on improving its English Language Arts performance, which is an area of concern. Additionally, the high poverty rates among the student population likely present additional challenges in providing the necessary academic and social-emotional support. Continued efforts to address these areas of concern could help Walters Elementary better serve its community.
