Despite the high spending per student ($17,327) and low student-teacher ratio (11.3), the school's academic performance remains below state standards.
The fact that 100% of students at Wagner High School - 01 receive free or reduced-price lunch suggests a high level of economic disadvantage in the school's population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.
