In contrast, Hardwick Elementary School had lower proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas, with some grades performing well below the state averages.

The data also reveals differences in socioeconomic factors, with Lakeview Union School having the highest free and reduced lunch rate at 68.97%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families, while Woodbury Elementary School had the lowest rate at 42.59%. Additionally, Hardwick Elementary School had the lowest student-teacher ratio at 13.1, while Woodbury Elementary School and Lakeview Union School both had a ratio of 14.5.
