Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 15.2:1, higher than the statewide school median of 13.7:1.

About 30% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
