The school's per-student spending of $8,500 and low student-to-teacher ratio of 11.8 suggest it is well-resourced, which may contribute to its academic performance. However, the high percentage of students (70.09%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.

Overall, Orange County Public Schools' Gordon-Barbour Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, providing a solid academic foundation for its diverse student population. While the school's funding and resources seem adequate, the high level of economic need among its students may require additional support and resources to ensure continued academic growth and achievement.
