The school faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 39.8% to 53.3% over the past few years, well above the state average and the rates of nearby public schools like Westwood Elementary (44.5%), Fairview Elementary (44.5%), and Emerson Academy (46.2%).
