While the data does not provide the free/reduced lunch rate for The Academy for Urban Scholars, the low test scores and high chronic absenteeism suggest the school may be serving a high-need student population. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 31.2 in the 2023-2024 school year may also contribute to the academic challenges faced by the students. Overall, the information available paints a concerning picture of The Academy for Urban Scholars and indicates the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to improve outcomes for the students.
