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.

This school is completely disorganized. I have classes that are 40 and more kids and none of the kids behave. I cant learn anything. The principal doesnt know me or any of my friends, she never has time to talk to us students. Its so bad and has been this way ever since she came here. I cant wait to get out of here. Theres no trips anymore, no activities. All the teachers seem stressed and never know whats going on. Close Quote

I'm a concerned parent with what is going on @ my daughter's High School with the teachers & how they are evaluated. This is my daughter's 2nd Yr.& she receives an I.E.P. i always have been struggling w/her & i reached out 2 a few teachers w/her education & there is a teachers who has been a valuable part of her education & i wouldn't like to see her go.Because she advocates not only for my daughter but i would believe others children benefit fr.her as well & her Principal is trying to let her go .Because of her efforts .I believe this this is political & the children are the one's who suffer . Thanks I hope i can make a difference 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.
