The school's math and English Language Arts proficiency rates are significantly below the district and state averages, ranging from 16.1% to 28% proficient or better in math and 27.6% to 48.4% in ELA, compared to the district's 19.2% to 46% and 29.3% to 54.3%, and the state's 37.3% to 51.4% and 51.5% to 55.8%, respectively. However, the school's science proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, with 76% of students proficient or better.
The high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Victory Elementary School suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which can impact academic achievement. Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the consistently low performance in math and ELA indicates that there may be other factors contributing to the academic challenges faced by the school. The school's strengths in science could potentially be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes.
