The school's student-teacher ratio of 9.8 is lower than the state average, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.8% in the 2023-2024 school year is a concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement.

By closely analyzing the performance data, demographics, and resource allocation, the school can identify targeted strategies to address its challenges and build on its strengths to enhance the educational experiences and outcomes for its students. The school's Gallatin R-V district should work to support the school in addressing these areas of concern.
