The school's proficiency rates range from 17% in Mathematics to 39% in Reading, all well below the state averages. The school's performance is particularly low in Mathematics, with only 4% of students proficient or better on the ACT Mathematics assessment.
The school faces challenges related to high poverty and chronic absenteeism, with 69.11% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch and a chronic absenteeism rate of 25%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
