The high school drop out rate is 53.4%, and only 3.3% of community members have a college degree.  According to the neighborhood middle school's report card, only 6.5% of the students graduating 8th grade in 2003 were proficient in math and 18.6% were proficient in reading.

There is also a great spiritual need in our community.
