The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (89.76%) at Sojourner Truth Academy indicates a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's persistent academic challenges. Targeted interventions and support focused on improving student learning outcomes and addressing the unique needs of the school's student population would be crucial for Sojourner Truth Academy to improve its performance and better serve the community.
