Class loads run heavy: 22.3:1 is larger than about 90% of Michigan schools and 27% above the 17.5:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need is high: 84.1% of students qualify for free meals, 55% above the Michigan average, a Title I-weighted population that federal funding formulas prioritise.
Enrollment of 514 puts it in the larger third of Michigan schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index sits near the middle of the pack among 3,375 scored Michigan schools.
Against 391 statewide peers matched on enrollment and economic need, it ranks in the upper tier at #105.
Its student body is led by White (73%) and Hispanic or Latino (22%) (diversity index 41/100).
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 26.8% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 15.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
