However, the data also reveals significant challenges facing many of the schools in the 29340 zip code area. All schools had a chronic absenteeism rate of 22.5%, which is much higher than the state average. Additionally, most schools had very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.
