South Fork High School faces several challenges, including underperformance in academic tests, higher chronic absenteeism, and a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 38% of students were proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 67% in the Martin District and 60% statewide.
