The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past two years, with some fluctuations but no clear upward or downward trend.
Additionally, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school also serves a predominantly low-income population, with 93.05% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1, which could be a potential strength if leveraged effectively.
