Introduction
This document provides an analysis of the provided 2023 student performance data, referred to as "GR Level".
The data is disaggregated by school level (Elementary, Middle, Secondary) and various student subgroups, including race/ethnicity and other special populations.
Cleaned Data Summary
The table below consolidates the GR Level data for each subgroup across all school levels for easy comparison. All data is for the year 2023.

---|---|---|---|---|
Asian | 0.72 | 0.74 | 0.73 | 0.73 |
Black or African American | 0.43 | 0.45 | 0.45 | 0.44 |
Hispanic or Latino | 0.50 | 0.51 | 0.54 | 0.51 |
Multi-Racial | 0.52 | 0.52 | 0.53 | 0.52 |
White | 0.57 | 0.55 | 0.57 | 0.56 |
Economically Disadvantaged | 0.49 | 0.47 | 0.47 | 0.48 |
Children With Disabilities | 0.36 | 0.32 | 0.29 | 0.33 |
English Learners | 0.35 | 0.32 | 0.38 | 0.34 |
Homeless | 0.44 | 0.44 | 0.42 | 0.44 |
Military Connected | 0.62 | 0.65 | 0.62 | 0.63 |
Foster Care | 0.46 | 0.42 | 0.37 | 0.43 |
Totals | 0.56 | 0.54 | 0.56 | 0.55 |
Analysis of Key Findings
Overall Performance
The overall performance (Totals) is relatively stable across all school levels, with an average GR Level of 0.55.
Middle school shows a slight dip in performance (0.54) compared to Elementary and Secondary schools (both 0.56).
Performance by Race and Ethnicity
Asian students consistently demonstrate the highest performance, with an overall GR Level of 0.73. This is significantly above the total average.
White students are the second-highest performing racial subgroup, with a consistent overall score of 0.56, which is just above the total average.
There are notable achievement gaps for other racial and ethnic groups when compared to Asian and White students.
Black or African American students have an overall GR Level of 0.44.
Hispanic or Latino students have an overall GR Level of 0.51.
Multi-Racial students have an overall GR Level of 0.52.
Performance of Vulnerable Student Populations
Several subgroups show performance levels well below the overall average, highlighting areas of significant need.
Children With Disabilities have the lowest scores across the board, with an overall average of 0.33. The score is lowest at the Secondary level (0.29).
English Learners also show low performance, with an overall average of 0.34. Their lowest score is at the Middle school level (0.32).
Students in Foster Care have an overall score of 0.43, with a concerning downward trend from Elementary (0.46) to Secondary (0.37).
Homeless students have an overall score of 0.44, which is consistent across school levels but still significantly below the total average.
Economically Disadvantaged students score 0.48 overall, below the average but higher than other vulnerable groups.
High-Performing Subgroup
Military Connected students are a notable high-performing group, with an overall GR Level of 0.63. This group consistently scores well above the average across all school levels, second only to Asian students.
Summary Conclusion
The 2023 GR Level data reveals significant disparities in performance among different student subgroups. While the overall performance is stable, there are persistent and substantial achievement gaps, particularly for students with disabilities, English learners, students in foster care, and certain racial and ethnic minorities. Conversely, Asian and Military Connected students consistently outperform the average. These findings suggest a need for targeted interventions and support systems to address the educational needs of the most vulnerable student populations and promote equity across the system.
