Linton's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 53.1% to 58.79% over the past three school years, may indicate that the school faces significant challenges in addressing the needs of its student population. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 13.2 over the past three school years, suggests that the school may need to focus on improving instructional practices and interventions to address the achievement gaps. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, providing targeted interventions, and addressing the unique needs of the school's student population.
