The school's higher-than-average spending per student ($17,013) and lower student-teacher ratio (11:1) suggest that the district is investing resources in the school, which may be contributing to its relatively strong academic performance in certain subjects. Overall, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage (80.49%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
