The school's relatively lower percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (35.05%) compared to some nearby schools, such as Bonneville Elementary (65.58%) and Waterford Elementary (42.21%), suggests it serves a more economically diverse student population, which may contribute to its academic success.
