In science, the 8th-grade proficiency rate is just 18.18%, compared to the state average of 30.34%.

Socioeconomic challenges also appear to be a factor, with 88.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may be impacting the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience, as evidenced by the lack of diversity in the student body, which is overwhelmingly African American.
