The Dr. Lewis S.

Its SchoolDigger rating has also decreased from 3 stars to 0 stars over the past three years. The school faces challenges such as a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4% and a significant portion (42.96%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.

Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, and its student population is predominantly white (91.85%) with a notable percentage of Native American students (4.07%). These factors suggest the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the underlying issues and support the school's improvement.
