Despite relatively high per-student spending of $17,393 in 2023-2024, Sandoval Elementary School faces significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. The school has a high student-teacher ratio of 14.8, and a large percentage of its students, 72.17% in 2023-2024, qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
