The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 14.8%, which is quite high and can negatively impact student learning and progress.
Socioeconomic challenges may be a contributing factor to the school's low academic performance, as 54.17% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Significant interventions and support are likely needed to improve the school's outcomes and provide a high-quality education for its students.
