Class loads run heavy: 19.2:1 is larger than about 91% of Texas schools and 31% above the 14.7:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.

Its free-meal eligibility rate of 70.5% lands close to the Texas typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.

Enrollment of 671 puts it in the larger third of Texas schools by headcount.

Its student body is predominantly Hispanic or Latino (93% of enrollment), among the less diverse in the state (diversity index 14/100).

Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 357 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 44.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).

Its district draws 28.1% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
