Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 8.7, which may suggest smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school also has a high percentage of students (43.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may impact the school's resources and ability to support student learning.
