Academically, the school's test scores across various subjects and grade levels are consistently well below the state averages, indicating that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $16,147, the data suggests that the resources may not be effectively allocated to support student learning and achievement. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is slightly higher than the state average, but this alone does not appear to be the primary driver of the school's poor performance.
