The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 32.01% to 88.52% Hispanic students and 6.11% to 50% African American students, indicate that the 89101 zip code is a low-income area. This socioeconomic factor likely plays a significant role in the academic performance of the schools and the challenges they face. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach that considers the unique needs and circumstances of the community.
