It reported a 0.0% dropout rate, versus 2.0% district and 1.1% state, and 25.7% chronic absenteeism, below the district’s 36.5% but above the state’s 17.3%. Bright spots include 4th grade social studies (60.71% proficient vs. district 37.74% and state 65.51%), 4th grade math (50.00% vs. 22.48% and 52.87%), 5th grade ELA (50.00% vs. 30.61% and 53.63%), and 8th grade ELA (50.00% vs. 36.15% and 54.38%). Weak spots are in middle school: 7th grade math (13.64% vs. 20.44% and 55.67%), 7th grade ELA (18.18% vs. 28.65% and 55.33%), 6th grade math (17.19% vs. 22.74% and 53.60%), and 6th grade ELA (20.63% vs. 29.11% and 54.95%).
On average, Schulte beats the district in every subject—ELA 37.84% vs. 30.24%, math 31.19% vs. 22.14%, science 39.43% vs. 29.43%, and social studies 55.36% vs. 41.26%—but remains below state averages in all 16 tested cells, with the largest gap in math. Grade 4 is the strongest overall; grades 6–7 need the most support. About 56.99% of students are eligible for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $15,709, and the student-teacher ratio is 16.2. In short, Schulte is doing comparatively better within a very low-ranked district but still has meaningful ground to make up statewide.
