Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.2%, significantly higher than the state average. The high percentage of students (51.02%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic disadvantages, which may contribute to the school's low academic performance.
