Chronic absenteeism is a clear strength: 9.0% at Bannach in 2024-2025, roughly half the district rate of 17.7% and the state rate of 17.3%. The district itself ranks 211th of 432 schools, at the 51st percentile with 3 stars, making Bannach a notable bright spot within it. Context figures for 2024-2025 include a 29.08% free/reduced-price lunch rate, $14,160 in per-student spending, and a student-teacher ratio of 14.9, though no district or state comparators are available for these. Year-over-year grade-level changes may reflect different cohorts, and the proficiency averages are simple summaries across the listed tests rather than official composite scores.
