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 go to this school!! ITS THE BEST!! Close Quote


by a parent
Thursday, January 29, 2009

Open Quote I Personally do not like nor appreciate the way that the staff at this school treat their students as well as the parents of the students they discriminate against one set of students and treat them like a common criminal. I dont think they have a clue on how to handle situations, for one the parents should always be notified immediatley before any action is taken by the administration. The Administration pegs every minority student as a potential problem so they find ways to punish these poor students who have no way to defend themselves. It is absolutely ridiculous having to deal with the administration who take no responsibility for their actions and use their status as a way to not only mentally abuse these kids but to talk down to the parents like they are a child. I do not recommend any parent to send their children to school here, something must be done to change the problems at this school. 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.
