Across all schools in the 23231 zip code, there are some concerning trends, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 15.7%, which is higher than the district and state averages, and very high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 89.44% to 93.81%, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
