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 Third school my son has attended in 4 years, and the best one by far! Close Quote

Open Quote Huge sense of community at this school. Teachers are caring and active in the students lives. Only issues we had are that the grounds/buildings need a serious update and the way they teach Math in the lower grades is a bit different. Takes some getting used to, but may find that at any school. They always center activities and extra curriculars around the students and enrichment. My 3rd grader loves this school. Close Quote

Open Quote My daughter has a learning disability and all the staff at oak height elementary did such a great job in helping her succeed in her education. If she had not been at this school I don't think she would have grown into the beautiful talented child that she is now. She had the best support team and now she loves school and excels in math. Thank you everyone at Oak Heights We Love You. 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.
