Thursday, October 13, 2011

We moved here this year for the 2011-2012 school year from Charlotte, NC. I have been very impressed by the school, staff and principal. My son has been struggling and they are more than willing to help. The principal is very active and involved with the students. The only complaint that I have, not related to the school but to the area that it is in, is that Internet is not readily available. We have to use a hot spot and most of the houses we looked at in the area have this problem. We will probably have to move out of the area but we are really torn because this school has been so excellent for our children. 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.
