For context, 28.39% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending was $14,931, and the student-teacher ratio was 13.9. District and school test scores are identical in every reported row, likely because this is the district's only tested elementary building, so state comparisons are the more meaningful benchmark. Overall, 2025–2026 results slipped from an exceptional 2024–2025 but remain above the state average in every reported subject and grade.
