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 Our family just moved from Utah to AZ and this school compared to the elementary schools there are horrible..Well the kindergarten is horrid.. no individual attention, teacher gives each student about 30 seconds of help..i observed the class (Mrs G) today and was just so deeply disappointed that i was actually paying for this kind of education.. this school massively needs about 2 helpers ALL DAY for kindergarten..The kids are bored, and no one is really getting the learning environment they actually need! Teacher is all over the place doesn't concentrate in one area at a time like 2 weeks just ABC's or 123's or letter sounds or shapes.. she just gives it all to you at once and its overwhelming.. i was in tears because i want more for my child than this...(supposedly 9 star rated but definitely not kindergarten ratings..) i want to revoke my child from the school till next year but i cant cause every kindergarten is full within 50 miles from my home.. Now on the other hand my other child is in 1rst grade and is thriving, 100% spelling test, 100% math... doing awesome... and loves his NEW INTO THIS SCHOOL YEAR TEACHER Mrs Mason! Id give this school a 0 for kindergarten and a 5 for 1rst grade.. 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.
