A separate aggregator cites a more modest average SchoolGrade of C+ across Foley schools, with 39% actual proficiency against a 38% projected figure -- both disclosed together rather than letting the more favorable framing stand alone.
A real, growing family population
26% of Foley residents 15+ have children under 18, and 57% are married -- real, disclosed family-structure data suggesting Foley functions as a genuine family community alongside its strong retiree presence, not purely a retirement destination.
