Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4 and higher per-student spending of $33,061, Robert M Finley Middle School appears to be facing significant academic challenges. The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 56.53% in 2023-2024. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the low proficiency rates and declining statewide ranking should be a priority for the school and district.
