The growing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Beau Chene High School, from 44.09% in 2020-2021 to 58.02% in 2022-2023, suggests that the school is serving an increasingly economically disadvantaged population, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
