Despite its high results, Lascassas spends less per student than almost every comparable school. At $12,693 per pupil in 2024–2025, it spent less than Kittrell Elementary School ($16,722), Wilson Elementary ($12,806), and Homer Pittard ($14,465), yet produced significantly higher proficiency rates than most of them. For example, Kittrell posted 47.8% math proficiency and 40.7% ELA, far behind Lascassas’s 66.6% and 65.6%. The one clear area for improvement is special education, where the school’s percentile ranking has declined from 55th to 33rd over three years. Overall, Lascassas offers parents a high-performing, efficient, and increasingly equitable elementary option in the Rutherford County area.
