Its free-meal eligibility rate of 71.4% lands close to the Texas typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 187 puts it in the smaller third of Texas schools by headcount.

Among 463 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Texas schools statewide, it ranks #360, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Its district draws 28.7% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
