Student Demographics
Approximately 50 percent of our students speak a language other than English
at home, and 75 percent qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program. The
Voluntary Enrollment Exchange Program (VEEP) has brought 30 students from
Emerson, Fulton, Golden Hills, and Perkins Elementary schools, and we have 66
students who attend through the Open Enrollment Program, creating a culturally
enriched learning community.
