The school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the district average, with only 15.9% of students proficient or better in English II and just 1.9% proficient or better in Algebra I, compared to district averages of 33.5% and 19.9%, respectively.

The declining performance, significant achievement gaps, and high spending with low outcomes suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and practices to better support student learning and success.
