The school's 5th-grade students performed above the statewide average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. However, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 86.4%, which is an area of concern. Lothrop School also has a moderate level of economic disadvantage, with 38.54% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, and it spends a relatively high $12,511 per student, with a very low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1.

Overall, Lothrop School appears to be providing a quality education to its students, as evidenced by its strong academic performance. The school's high per-pupil spending and low student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its success, despite the high chronic absenteeism rate. Further investigation into the reasons behind the attendance issues could help the school and district develop strategies to improve student attendance and ensure all students have the opportunity to thrive.
