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 This school is honestly one of the worst I’ve seen as far as office staff go. The immaturity of the receptionist and the lack of respect they have for parents, never seizes to amaze me. Talking badly about each other, parents and actually telling me that my 5 year old can walk himself to class, after I’ve been doing this for awhile now, just trying to bate me into a verbal argument, which of course worked, as I told this Angie to learn her place! I am the mother not the school! To tell a parent they can’t walk their child to class is proving all the more how schools are trying to take over your rights as a parent and control our children, brainwashing them with the lies, garbage they’ve been telling us for decades! The other receptionist at this particular school was just as rude, so I let her know what I thought as well. These pathetic people are under the illusion that they are somehow better than everyone else because they work in a school that’s located in a town that openly discriminates against minority’s and those who aren’t originally from the area. This town and school are the worst I’ve ever seen and I’d recommend going to any other school over this one! 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.
