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 The drop off pick up is ANARCHY at best with parents just dropping off in the turn lane. No One Cares.

Community service they offer/order for their required assignment cost 20 a kid. I go & try to get involved with the PTSA and its 6 dollars a month.
The office people are well trained on how to give the run around for their superiors.

Teachers,most of them, seem to care but there are a couple bully type "Its the rules I dont care what your condition is." Then they try to blame my child for doing what he/she is suppose to do. Intimidation is not education or I'd be educating some people.
I feel this school is in need of some serious investigation into the way they try to EDUCATE my kids.
My kids are afraid of the academics and how to get help? HERE'S A TON OF HOMEWORK ASK YOUR PARENTS FOR HELP.......WHY ARE WE PAYING YOU?

It seems that this school and most of the overpaid RUSD board members are lost when it comes to what works.More concerned with their overall STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. Parents we need to come together & stop them pushing agendas and personal views.
I suggest every PARENT should take a INTEREST in what these educators are calling important.

Chris Columbus DID NOT DISCOVER AMERICA and you are poisoning my child brain with useless information that only comes into play on STANDARDIZED TEST.

15 minute classes where the teacher tries to force info into our children as fast as they can fit in... The result is a confused child that comes home with homework they dont understand.
I am questioning the whole entire curriculum of this school and the district.
I come from a long line of educators, many members of this system. I also have talked to them and the agree that they are paid to little & worked too much teaching useless information.
I have to do some more research and some gathering of like minded FRUSTRATED parents. We need to come together and turn schools back into LEARNING FACILITIES not McDonald drive threw teaching.
Please take a moment and ask your kids how they feel they learned today. I bet you are disappointed 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.
