Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($18,701) and lower student-teacher ratio (11.8) compared to the state average, its overall performance and ranking within Connecticut suggest that simply investing more resources may not be enough to drive significant improvements. The district may need to examine its instructional practices, curriculum, and other factors that contribute to student success, as well as provide targeted support and interventions for the school's economically disadvantaged student population, with 41.72% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
