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 Work is a competition among parents, not a learning experience for the children. Teachers are non-responsive and refuse to listen to parental input. Kids socially bully and the bullying is written off by administration... Don't tell me it's not bullying! I'm an AMFT who work in schools and does seminars on the different types of bullying!!!!
When the school feels that you or your child don't fit into their cookie cutter idea of what people "should" be, they will make your life miserable, "anonymously " report you to government officials, expect you to sign papers that have not been filled out, try to pigeonhole your kid into diagnoses are FAR from reality... and, more than that, they expect you to THANK them for the opportunity to do unnecessary assessments!!! It's good that my husband and I were too smart, too educated and love our child TOO much to give into the nonsense! 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.
