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.

by a parent
Thursday, December 17, 2015

My child attended this school for 4 years and I volunteered weekly during 3 of those. Neither my older child nor my younger child will attend this school or hopefully any public school. Here are PROS: safe, diverse, good Principal (I dealt with two of them), large (finding friends is never an issue), tons of “home stay moms” who volunteer. CONS: tons of work for parents with no educational value for children, too much fundraising (while in my opinion no need for it; the problem of the school is certainly not money), too much computer usage starting KG with some programs that both ineffective and bordering child-abuse (JiJi math), very weak academically, half teachers (or more) should be gone since they either too young to be good/too poorly-educated or too old (pre-retirement) to be effective, poor on-site after school care.
The problems we had - behavioral and academicals - all disappeared in a new school. The child is now “willing and engaged” vs. “doing poorly and constantly disturbs others in class”. If you, like most Americans, think that the real education starts in high school, you should stop reading my review. If you’re concerned about academics, it is not the correct school for you. Out of 4 years we had one good teacher and one terrible one, the other two were just OK. Overall, I felt the school, as many public schools, have no idea what “Curriculum” means and “HOW to teach” children. Since I went to school in a different country I didn’t know what to think and how to compare this school to others. While my child was generally, outside of one grade, happy to attend school and play wall ball, I went through multiple stages in relationship to this school, which started with “the school is great; it is our problem that our child doesn’t learn”, “the program is horrible; I will teach my child myself”, “it’s a terrible school; we must try something different”. I’m just too sorry I took 4 years to get here. My opinion – teachers’ union is to blame. I could never imagine that in our incredible state K-12 public education could be so poor. 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.
