Spending patterns also reveal an inverse relationship—lowest-spending schools like Mott Elementary ($8,538 per student) often perform well, while highest-spending schools like Northwest Elementary ($14,232) face greater challenges. Performance trajectories vary, with Riojas Elementary improving from the 87th to 91st percentile, while Windermere Elementary dropped from the 62nd to 42nd percentile over three years.
