Additionally, 4th Grade Math presents a persistent challenge, with only 9.3% of students proficient in 2025-2026, a sharp decline from the previous year. The school's per-student spending of $10,450 is modest given the high level of poverty, which may limit resources to address these academic gaps. Overall, while Compass Rose Legacy Elementary shows some signs of improvement in early reading, it faces significant systemic challenges in math and science that require targeted intervention.
