Approximately 66% of Overfelt families qualify for free and reduced lunch programs. The average educational level of Overfelt parents is tenth grade. Ninety-eight percent of Overfelt’s student population is ethnic minority and is comprised of 73.6% Latino, 9.6% Asian, 9.4% Filipino, 2.8% African-American, and 2% other.
