The data reveals a wide range of performance across the schools in the 11542 zip code area, with some bright spots like the strong Algebra I results at Robert M Finley Middle School, but also significant challenges, particularly at the elementary school level. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the schools suggest the district may be serving a predominantly low-income population, which could contribute to the overall lower performance compared to state averages. By identifying these areas of strength and weakness, the district can focus its efforts on supporting student success and addressing the unique needs of the community.
