Hysham School serves a student population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 32.08% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This may contribute to the school's mixed academic performance, but it also suggests the need for additional resources and support to ensure these students have access to a quality education. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $23,283 is significantly higher than the state average, which could be due to factors such as a small student population or the provision of specialized services.
