The school's extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.36% to 100% over the past three school years, is likely a significant contributing factor to the school's low academic performance. Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio and slightly higher per-student spending, the school's academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to address the specific needs of the student population. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that takes into account the unique needs of the student population and the broader community.
