Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 to 1 and higher per-student spending than the state average. However, the school has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 92.31% in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. These factors suggest that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating resources and implementing strategies to support student learning and improve academic outcomes.
