Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning. However, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (83.07%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.6% in 2023-2024. These factors may be contributing to the school's declining performance and suggest that targeted interventions and support could be beneficial in helping to improve outcomes for its students.
