The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1, as well as the Choctaw County School District's higher-than-average ranking and rating, suggest that with targeted interventions and support, the school could enhance its academic performance and better serve the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
