Despite the school's strong academic performance, 44.57% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. However, the school district's spending per student of $8,969 is relatively low, suggesting efficient resource allocation and effective use of funds to support student learning.
