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 was very impressed and pleased that my child would come home from school and say that she had a great day at school! The staff was very helpful and was easy to communicate with. I love the fact that there were many artistic contests, but yet the school wasn't too competitive. I feel like after this year my child has learned the importance of trying her best and to do well in school. The discipline was good I liked the fact that the staff was very rewarding to good behavior! (: my child was one of the shier ones and the teachers were very respectful of that! Close Quote

Open Quote The teachers at this school love kids. Many come to their ballgames and get involved in the kids lives. I am so happy to be a part of this school. We went through a lot of work to be a part of this school and it was all well worth it. I can't wait for my younger children to enter in the years to come. AND...they have had the state's highest performance rating since they opened in 2007. This is not something every new school can accomplish. We are blessed to be a part of WCE! 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.
