Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 61.8% of students eligible for free meals.
Enrollment of 101 puts it in the smaller third of Minnesota schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index lands in the lower third of 2,334 scored Minnesota schools.
Among 142 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Minnesota schools statewide, it ranks #110, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.

Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 46.5% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 24.8% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
