Despite having a higher per-student spending ($15,221 in 2020-2021) and a lower student-teacher ratio (11.4 in 2022-2023) compared to the state averages, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the school. The school's demographics, with a predominantly white student population, may also be a factor, but further investigation into the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems would be necessary to identify areas for improvement and help the school better serve its students.
