Gen George Patton Elementary School faces significant challenges in academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 17.9% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and the school had 0% proficiency in Mathematics, while the state average ranged from 24.8% to 33.8%. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 59.0% and a large percentage of students (70.34%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $23,347 and a student-teacher ratio of 23.6, which is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population. The consistently low academic performance and lack of improvement over time warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes at Gen George Patton Elementary School.
