The school's performance also varies significantly across grade levels, with stronger performance in 5th and 6th grades and weaker performance in 7th and 8th grades, which could indicate issues with curriculum alignment, instructional practices, or student transitions between grade levels. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may also contribute to the school's academic challenges, and the leadership may need to develop targeted strategies to address the specific learning needs of the student population.
