While the schools in Lantana serve a diverse student population, there are some differences in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 7.14% at EP Rayzor Elementary to 14.63% at Harpool Middle. This suggests potential equity concerns related to resource allocation and student demographics across the schools. Additionally, the data reveals variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the varying levels of academic performance observed.
