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.

by a parent
Tuesday, September 1, 2009

I attended this school and my son just graduated from this school in the top ten of his class. I think it is an excellent school because it is small, rural and in touch with reality(something lacking in most of society today)The staff is caring and concerned about the students. The quality of education rivals that of some of the better private schools. My nephew is a prime example of one who has reaped the benefits of this small school. He graduated in the top ten of his class after coming from a neighboring school system where he couldn't read very well even in second grade. He is now finishing up his last semester in college and has not suffered at all from his backwoods rural education. My son just embarked on his academic career at Tennessee Technological University in Mechanical Engineering and I expect that he will be as well prepared for this as anyone new to the school.(That is a comforting thought for any parent) 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.
