Additionally, the schools have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.95% to 63.77%, indicating that the student population faces significant economic challenges. Despite these challenges, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 13.3 to 15.4, which may suggest that the district is allocating resources to address the needs of its student population.
