The school has a relatively high percentage of students (56.41%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economic disadvantage among the student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.6 is lower than the national average, which could be a positive factor in providing more individualized attention and support for students.

These findings suggest areas for further investigation and potential improvement, such as analyzing instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted interventions to support student learning and achievement.
