As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

This school has changed in the past few years and it shows. We initially selected this school because administration was amazing. WAS! When Ms. Pearson left, it went downhill, some of their school policies are intentionally designed to help students fail. The level of responsibility they put on young minds is absurd. Teachers are rude to the kids instead of recognizing that some may need more help than others. Vice Principle lies to parents on children to get them into trouble. Antagonizes them. The behavior I've witnessed from this school has been deplorable, and shocking to say the least. They need help. The emotional distress and unhappiness the kids feel is very sad. Hardly any programs, entirely too much homework in comparison to other schools that are thriving. They set kids up to fail. Just a sad enviornment. Close Quote

This is not a school for a special needs student. The school was amazing a couple years ago, but, they have dropped the ball. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
