All four improved year over year.
Chronic absenteeism is below the state at both schools — 10.6% at Gerritts and 8.5% at Mapleview, against 17.3% statewide — though Gerritts is above the district's 8.1%. Gerritts also has larger enrollment, a higher student-teacher ratio (15.5 versus 12.5), higher per-student spending ($13,202 versus $12,595), and lower free/reduced-price lunch participation (17.21% versus 26.15%).
