<25% of students qualify for free/reduced lunch. Well below the Title I threshold; expect a higher-income student body on average.

The actual Title I designation is a district decision and may differ from eligibility — but the federal eligibility math is what we show here. We don't claim to assert whether the district formally chose to enroll this school in Title I.
