However, the data also reveals disparities in performance across the district, with some schools struggling, particularly Temple Hill Elementary. Additionally, the district faces challenges such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 18.9% across all schools and significant differences in per-student spending, ranging from $10,919 at Unicoi County Middle School to $20,194 at Love Chapel Elementary. Addressing these systemic issues could be key to improving educational outcomes for all students in the Erwin community.
