While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 38.5% for the 2022-2023 school year is higher than desired, it is still lower than the state average, suggesting the school is doing a relatively good job of keeping students engaged and attending school. Additionally, the school serves a population with some socioeconomic challenges, as indicated by the relatively high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (43.56%). However, the school's strong academic performance despite these challenges suggests it is effectively supporting student learning and achievement.
