Chronic absenteeism in 2025–26 was 15.3%, slightly below the district's 16.1%. Context data is limited or dated: the student-teacher ratio is 14.5 (2024–25), per-student spending is $8,494 (2018–19), and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed.
