Additionally, 80.08% of students received free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The school's statewide ranking has declined from 566 in 2022-2023 to 699 in 2024-2025, suggesting the need for more targeted interventions and a closer examination of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices to better support the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
