What this school's NCES data tells you

Title I and federal lunch eligibility offer another window into the student body: 12.4% of pupils qualify for free meals, a proxy for household income that federal programs use to direct funding. The free-lunch share is 72% below the Washington average and 76% below the national baseline.

On the finance side, the surrounding Seattle School District No. 1 spends $25,927 per pupil district-wide, above the Washington average of $23,175 and above the national average of $19,490.
