The school's high per-student spending, ranging from $23,872 to $54,652 over the past 3 school years, and low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 5:1 to 8.8:1, suggest that the school is investing significant resources into supporting its students, but the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the level of investment.
