Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5, which may indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. However, this advantage does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, likely due to the high percentage of students (84.09%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant economic disadvantages among the student population.
