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.

Open Quote All smoke and mirrors folks. All smoke and mirrors. Yes, your children will have access to a more robust academic curriculum, however, don't expect them to teach it to your kids. They are hiring individuals with no degree in education, no experience in teaching, no certifications whatsoever to teach, and, often new grads to be the LEAD teacher and allowing these folks to deviate from Great Hearts Policies. No oversight of this. Despite what they say...Athenaeum is nothing more than aftercare. They don't, at least at this location, help the kids academically and certainly not individually. Arbitrary punishments, such as making a 4 yr old in week 2 of the school year (Kindergarten baby) be humiliated in front of her peers by making the child pick up others trash while they are eating because the child didn't want to eat the snack the "TEACHER" selected for her. Power corrupts...absolute power corrupts absolutely. I was so excited about Great Hearts...but this place is nothing like the reviews and all the hype described. Remember...it is essentially a franchise out of Texas...and boy are they addicted to the money these schools are pouring in. Unsuspecting parents have no idea they are merely buying access to curriculum and exposing their kids to unqualified/non certified folks off the street which results in requiring parents to teach the volumes of material to their children at home.

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.
