The district may want to examine best practices at the top-performing schools and see how they can be replicated at lower-performing schools. Additionally, the schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower test scores, suggesting socioeconomic factors play a role in student achievement, and the district may want to explore ways to provide additional support and resources to these higher-need schools.
