However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 19.3 is slightly higher than the recommended range of 15-18 students per teacher. Additionally, the high percentage of students (50%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests a relatively low-income student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Overall, the data indicates that Boistfort School District and the community it serves may benefit from targeted interventions and additional support to improve student outcomes at Boistfort Elementary.
