Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5% for the 2023-2024 school year.
The data suggests that Midway Elementary is a struggling school, with factors such as the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100%) potentially contributing to the low academic performance. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's outcomes and better serve the needs of its students.
