Among the three schools, Sunset Colony Elementary - 04 stands out with the highest spending per student at $19,842, significantly more than the other two schools. This school also has the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 89.29%. In terms of academic performance, Sunset Colony Elementary - 04 has strong results, with 100% proficiency in 5th and 8th grade English Language Arts, and 100% proficiency in 3rd grade Mathematics. Westwood Rural Elementary - 05, on the other hand, has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 17:1 and the highest percentage of 5th grade students proficient in English Language Arts at 100%.

Across all three schools, the chronic absenteeism rate is 20.2% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than the state average. While Britton-Hecla Elementary - 02 generally performs better than the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, the other two schools have more mixed results. The high free/reduced lunch rates at Westwood Rural Elementary - 05 and Sunset Colony Elementary - 04 suggest that these schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which may present additional challenges and require more support.
