The dropout rate of 6.1% is double the state average of 3.1%, and chronic absenteeism at 25.5% exceeds the state's 22.5%. Over 62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating a high-poverty population. The school's state ranking has been declining, dropping from the 42nd percentile to the 30th percentile. With a student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1, the school serves a community where socioeconomic challenges likely contribute to the achievement gaps seen across most subjects.
