Across the Cumberland School District, the schools face challenges such as high rates of chronic absenteeism and a significant population of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the district's performance is generally below the state averages, the data highlights areas where the district could focus its efforts to drive improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism, increasing academic proficiency in certain subject areas, and exploring ways to better support students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
