While the school's overall academic performance is below the state averages, its 8th-grade Mathematics scores are significantly higher, suggesting that the school may be doing a better job of preparing students in this subject area. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a lower-income population, which could contribute to the lower academic performance and may require additional resources and support to address the needs of these students.
