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 The staff and the principle at this school are only concern about one thing there selves. The school tolerates bullying to the point of know return. The staff treat the kids like they on the street they talk slang to them sing rap songs that has foul language. There are a lot of troubled kids at this school that should have been expelled long ago but they will not put them out. They are taking the focus off the smart kids who really want to learn. You have some teachers that get high and share that info with the kids and tell them that it's okay to do so. This school needs to be investigated hard they need all new staff. The name it self holds very high standards you would think it would be a lot better. If you don't want your child to turn into a violent drug addict rap star. Do not send your child here I repeat do not look deep and hard into another school for your child this school is horrible. Close Quote

Open Quote The faculty and administration are not concerned with making sure our children get what they need before moving on. They have poor communication between the parent community and constant changing of teachers in the middle of the year. they do not prepare 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.
