Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school performing relatively well for African American students but struggling with Asian and Hispanic student performance. These challenges may be related to the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 41.29% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year. Interestingly, the nearby Millennium Charter school outperforms Tracy High academically, highlighting the potential impact of school choice and alternative educational models on student outcomes.
