Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($16,677) and lower student-teacher ratio (9.5), the data suggests Otto L Shortell Middle School is facing significant academic challenges. The high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients (52.94%) indicates the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may present unique challenges and require additional resources and support. Addressing the root causes of the school's declining performance and proficiency gaps should be a top priority for the district and school leadership.
