While Sparta High School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13:1 compared to the state average, this does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes. The school's high percentage of students (59.63%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the challenges the school faces. To improve the school's performance, targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the specific needs of its student population may be necessary.
