Despite the relatively high spending per student at Short Line School ($19,449 in 2018-2019), the school's performance and consistency remain areas of concern. The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.8 is relatively low, but the uneven academic performance across subject areas and grade levels suggests a need for targeted interventions or curriculum improvements. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student population may be an area for the school to address in order to promote inclusivity and equity.
