A high 66.76% of students are economically disadvantaged, qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. On a positive note, the school shows encouraging improvement trends, particularly in math, where proficiency increased in every grade tested from the 2024-2025 to the 2025-2026 school year. For example, 3rd Grade Math jumped from 41% to 54% proficiency, and 5th Grade Science improved from 39% to 46%. The student-teacher ratio of 15.5:1 is reasonable for an elementary school.
