Additionally, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 29.5% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is substantially higher than the state average. The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 76.49% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the school's per-student spending was $11,333 and the student-teacher ratio was 22:1 in the same year, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
