The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 93.66% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to these challenges.

However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio (15.1) and higher-than-average spending per student ($18,224) suggest that it is making efforts to support its students, though the impact on academic outcomes is not yet evident.
