The V.P. is a psycho screams at students ,has blames my child for thing that are impossible .During a 4 day suspention she called to tell me my son got in trouble in class today when he was at home. She all of a sudden realized it when I told my son to say hi to her. She then said oh this was a week ago and hes not in trouble but I should be aware and hung up..
She is know to scream at kids to get them to confess and wont leave them alone till they do. She ran my kid out of her school .my opinion shes not to be trusted. Close Quote

Mrs. Frederick is a principal who truly cares about the kids. She's unlike many principals & school district officials who tend to do what they can to protect the school's image or who automatically side w/ teachers/staff, whether right or wrong. She looks at situations from all sides & uses her own parental perspective as well. She examines her conscience & does what she feels is morally right to the best of her ability. This is the kind of integrity that we need to have back in our schools! 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.
