Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's academic challenges, as over 68% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

These factors suggest that the school and district may need to focus on improving student learning and achievement, potentially through targeted interventions, professional development, and additional resources to address the needs of its high-poverty student population.
