The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with Hispanic students performing relatively better than White students and female students performing better than male students. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, its academic performance and other key metrics suggest that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources to support student learning and achievement.
