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 I have three children who attended this school. My oldest was a student there from kindergarten to third grade. The only reason we left the school was because we were relocated during a job change. I can always find something to criticize, but I haven't a bad word to say about our experience there. The teachers and staff were always responsive to questions or concerns, and I was always amazed on what the kids were learning and doing. The way children are taught today is a far cry from the classes I attended, and at first I was skeptical. However, I was willing to give the new curriculum a chance since they are trained educators. When my 2nd grader began finishing chapter books in a day, I was impressed. The facilities are second to none. The related arts classes are a wonderful introduction to art and music. Every teacher I have worked with has been committed to the kids' success. The staff are always around the school and knew my kids by name. My only regret was that we couldn't take the school with us when we moved. Close Quote

Open Quote I attended here from first to fifth grade and I didn't learn many essential things like spelling or how to have good handwriting. I didn't like the the teachers much either. 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.
