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 This school is terrible. Upon enrolling my sister, they stressed to us that they don’t tolerate behavior problems, but it didn’t take long for her to start having issues with people trying to bully her. Boys were hitting her, people were taking her food, and a group of girls were even trying to fight her. They also stressed to follow the protocol of telling the teachers instead of taking matters into her own hands. She did that, several times, her parents even had a meeting with the principal, and from the result of things, nothing ever happened because these students kept trying to pick on her. The principal tried to say that the school was for disruptive kids who had behavior problems and that they couldn’t get on students all day everyday and that’s understandable but that’s no excuse for you to continue to let these things happen. For a school that doesn’t tolerate behavior issues they sure had us fooled. A guy was putting his hands on her and he should’ve gotten suspended but didn’t but she got called out for saying she would bring her brother up there to handle him. That doesn’t make sense to me. He physically put his hands on her and all she did was say words to him to defend herself and she still got in trouble. And after they did whatever “punishment” they did for him, he still came back and did the same thing to her for a little while. After a while, even the teachers she told started to not take it seriously. Making sarcastic comments to her as if they’re tired of her telling them things even though she’s trying to follow the rules. Even the one teacher who seemed the most concerned turned on her and didn’t seem to care anymore. So of course if you’re doing what you’re supposed to do and nothing ever happens, you’re going to eventually start standing up for yourself. And surprisingly, she was getting in trouble. For standing up for herself, and doing what the teachers and principal claimed they were going to do. So basically, she couldn’t do anything for herself because they kept saying she can’t say this and can’t say that yet these student were getting away with racist comments and other things they said to her, and nobody else was doing anything and didn’t seem to care too much. So she was forced to deal with it. And that’s absolutely sad. You talk about protocol and then barely even follow it yourselves. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. You guys really need to get yourselves together. 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.
