The high poverty rate at Voyageurs Expeditionary Middle School, with 87.5% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. With such a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students, the school may face challenges in terms of resources, support, and student readiness to learn. Addressing these issues will be crucial for the school to improve its performance and provide a high-quality education to its diverse student population.
