Its ELA, Science (85% vs. the state's 51.86%), and Social Studies (90% vs. 64.63%) results are well above state, with math above state in grades 7–8 but at 50% in grades 5–6, slightly below. It also posts 0.0% dropout, 5.4% chronic absenteeism, and the lowest traditional-school spending ($14,135). Elmwood High reports a 100.0% graduation rate, 0.0% dropout, and ACT Math (57.14%), Science (61.9%), and Social Studies (66.67%) above state, though ACT ELA was slightly below at 47.62% and absenteeism is 10.3%. Elmwood Elementary improved from the 61st to the 80th percentile, with every reported test score above state and the lowest absenteeism at 3.7%.
WWVC is a sharp outlier with only 18 students: an 80.0% graduation rate, 13.3% dropout, 81.8 student-teacher ratio, $9,189 spending, 0.0% absenteeism, unknown free/reduced lunch, and ACT proficiency at 14.29% in ELA and 0% in Math and Science. With such small enrollments, percentages can swing widely year to year and should be read as signals to monitor rather than firm trends.
