Graham-Dustin Elementary's academic proficiency rates are alarmingly low, with only 5% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 3% proficient in Mathematics, far below the state averages of 26% in both subjects. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, at 19.0%, which is likely contributing to the poor academic outcomes. Despite higher-than-average spending per student at $12,372, the school's performance indicates that additional resources and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the needs of this community.
The high percentage of students (90.29%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Graham-Dustin Elementary suggests that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population. This socioeconomic factor may be a significant barrier to student success and could require specialized support and resources to help these students overcome the challenges they face.
