The lack of diversity in the student population and the relatively low academic performance suggest that the school may need to focus on improving educational outcomes and addressing any underlying factors that may be contributing to the challenges. While the school has access to adequate resources, the data indicates a need to evaluate how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.
