Avoid sending your kids to this school. The amount of homework is completely unreasonable. They do nothing but testing and preparation for testing. They have ridiculously unnecessary classes for 6th graders such as "Engaged Citizenship", instead of a typing or computer class which they can actually use. These extra classes take time away from actual classes such as math and science and cause absurd amounts of homework to be given to make up for what is not taught in class. This has been the worst school experience we have ever had in our child's 12 years of life. Will change schools as soon as possible. Close Quote

AVOID. Teachers and staff are indifferent and often vindictive--the new principal is even worse than the one before. The school has no place for critical thinkers. The school is akin to the story of Stepford Wives. We HATE it. 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.
