Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,924 and low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, the declining performance suggests a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and address specific academic weaknesses. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch (52.78%) indicates the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement.
