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 really think this school could really use some grant money or better funding and a over seer to make sure the money actually went to its purpose,not just someone's pockets. But also having less than nothing lunches and back dated materials,while other schools are supplying their kids with electronic notebooks downloaded with textbook materials- our kids are still dragging around books throwing off their backs and creating shoulder problems and loosing their work,but yet the school has lockers that are empty,if they need to have contracts drawn to use them in order to have legal searches during d.a.r.e. week,then so be it,but at least give students an open option to them. The teachers themselves have forgotten how to be that scholar that he or she ignores or mistreats by assuming and forming their opinion and treating them as such should not wonder why we have so much violence brewing,because the home lives are so different in many ways,so the least they could do is actually explain the work until its understood or assign a classroom buddy that has a greater understanding and can help for extra credit. And for this school,there's only yet hope to be had,so maybe this year they will have less pregnancies-(not just students either the teachers are role models who have jobs and can afford a baby and are in front of students who may look up to them but do not need to be exposed to pregnancy only to have a future of welfare and food stamps etc...)and maybe summer school will contain less students,or maybe more teachers will actually prepare a lesson plan and can explain about the lessons they grade our kids on instead of complaining about being told to teach a lesson that they themselves didn't go to school for, and that wont happen cause they are short of teachers that are well rounded and have cut out parent teacher conference due to maybe teachers not showing up for the parent who cares and maybe its that parent that is too wrapped up in their own life to give a flip not showing up for the teachers who do care. What I know is that if all teachers were as dedicated and well rounded with great lesson planning as Mr. Grider and many other were then there would be no summer school and kids would have a future here in the south outside of fast food and retail and nursing homes.

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.
