The district's alternative school, Golden Rule Desoto, has the highest spending per student at $11,339 but does not necessarily have the best test scores or ratings.
Across the district, the schools serve a high-need student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 91.67% to 97.99%. This likely contributes to the overall lower performance compared to state averages.
