Very poorly run. There are some great classroom teachers but they don't make up for lousy administration. Close Quote

I'm very impressed with the attitude of the children at this school. My own children have grown to love learning and being challenged, where at their previous school they only liked lunch and recess. They appreciate being responsible for themselves and the atmosphere is a very positive learning environment. The students are very accepting of their classmates and have a great time each day.

Extremely disappointed with how students are treated by some of the faculty. Students are expected to be kind & polite, but a different standard is followed by the principal & some of the others on the faculty. The school is a disgrace to its own charter (Safe Harbor for learning)! 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.
