Burnt Bridge Creek has a high percentage of students (over 60%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the nearby schools. The school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $10,794 to $19,731 over the past few years, which is higher than the district average, suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to Burnt Bridge Creek's underperformance.
