However, the school's performance has been more inconsistent in recent years, with some grade levels performing significantly better or worse than the state averages. The school's science proficiency rates have been stronger, with 58.3% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 53.2%.
The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 93.79% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Despite this, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1 and a higher-than-average per-student spending of $19,036 for the 2022-2023 school year. These resources suggest the school has the potential to support student learning, but the inconsistent academic performance raises questions about how these resources are being utilized and whether they are being effectively targeted to support the needs of the student population.
