Strengths & Considerations
Strengths

Worth Considering
  • Below-median neighborhood opportunity score (34/100) — national median is 50
  • 88% of students on free or reduced lunch — a high share that can indicate resource pressure

About This Data

All figures on this page come directly from US federal open datasets — NCES Common Core of Data, EDFacts, and the Opportunity Atlas — and we work hard to keep them accurate and up to date. That said, federal data is published on an annual cycle, so some figures may not yet reflect the very latest school-year changes or local updates. We recommend using this page as a helpful starting point and cross-checking with the school or district directly, or visiting the NCES Common Core of Data and ed.gov for the most authoritative figures before making any important decisions.
