The school has a high percentage of African American students (81.75%) and a very high rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (79.93%), indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged population.

The school's academic performance is significantly below state averages in reading, math, and science, with only 24.24% of 3rd graders proficient or better in reading and just 2.86% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better in science.

Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community engagement.
