Additionally, Veterans Elementary School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and African American students compared to some of the nearby schools. While the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the years, its recent decline may be attributed to the increase in chronic absenteeism and the need to further improve academic performance in certain grade levels and subject areas.
