EDFacts assessment data puts 63% of students at or above grade level in combined math and reading, a little above the national midpoint where roughly half of tested students clear the bar.

The student-teacher ratio is 26.2 to 1, near the high end of the national distribution; NCES counts every certified teacher, so this figure includes specialists as well as classroom staff. A relatively low 15% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
