In contrast, the other schools in the 20708 zip code area struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages. This disparity in academic performance may be related to the significant differences in spending per student, which ranges from $13,808 at Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle to $23,029 at James H.

The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to these disparities and improve educational outcomes for all students in the 20708 zip code area.
