Across the district, social studies is a consistent strength while math is uneven by grade.

Per-student spending ranges from $8,629 to $24,847, and student-teacher ratios from 10.9 to 28.2. Because the smallest schools enroll only 18 to 43 students, a few students can shift their percentages substantially.
