Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 28.27% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is significantly higher than the other Bixby intermediate schools.
When compared to nearby schools, such as West Intermediate and North Intermediate, East Intermediate's test scores are significantly lower, particularly in Mathematics and Science.
