Despite the school's academic performance challenges, it appears to be spending a relatively high amount per student, at $14,378 per student for the 2018-2019 school year. The school also has a student-teacher ratio of 14.6 to 1, which is within the typical range for high schools. Overall, the data suggests that East Ridge High School may need to evaluate its educational programs and practices to address the academic performance issues and better support its high-poverty student population.
