Child pick up is disorganized. They still haven't learned how to use their sound system after 10 years. The school reach phone system is full of bugs. You either get repeat messages about events or none at all and its treated as your fault if you didn't get the info to include your child. From my perspective its not about education since school schedule involves half day Fridays and extra days off in the month as well as ending the school year early since it never snowed. Currently Aurora Christian Academy does not have a teacher for my child's age group due to down turned economy causing lower enrollment otherwise I would not hesitate for a second to switch schools.

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.
