The school's relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (27.01%) suggests that the student population may come from more affluent families, which could contribute to the school's strong academic performance. Additionally, the school's high per-student spending of $23,883 and low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 indicate that it has access to significant resources, which may also be a factor in its academic success.
