The school district's spending of $11,745 per student is lower than the state average, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

While the school excels in science, it struggles with math and English Language Arts proficiency, particularly as students progress through the grades. The high rate of economic need and relatively low per-student spending may be factors in the school's performance, but the small class sizes could be an advantage in addressing these challenges.
