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 am a teacher with McGuffey, soon to be former teacher. There is a culture of disrespect from the students, and the staff receive no help from the administration. This has been going on for years and has lead to chaos in the classroom where some students ignore rules and redirection and distract from the learning that should be taking place. The admin. expect the teachers to handle this but tie our hands when it comes to discipline. They will not allow us to remove disruptive students from class, nor when a student does something so outrageous that it finally warrants the attention of the administration, they do not follow through on the consequences. This school has great teachers but due to the toxic environment created from the lack of respect and consequences for students misbehavior, the education suffers and so do the students who are there to learn and whose parents will take action if needed.

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.
