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 New Traditions is a small school with very active parents. They might not be the highest in API scores, but the school environment gives students much more than just high test scores. New Traditions creates an environment that emphasizes tolerance, real diversity, trust, and critical thinking.
I'm a parent that serves on the SSC, the Social Networking Team, and countless events. I work very closely with the principal Maria Luz Agudelo. She is a fantastic principal and has steered the school through some difficult times.
I chose to keep my kids in NT even though they could have come with me to a school in Hillsborough where I teach.
New Traditions has something no other school has (and I've taught at several). You can feel it in the genuineness of its parents. Here we all make a difference, building our school, so our children have the best education they can possibly have. Close Quote

Open Quote I used to be a student at this school and I know for sure that I would not be the same person if it were not for the amazing teachers there. No matter what you've heard about this school, I believe it is the best. It encourages us kids to enjoy our childhood, but is also disciplinary and challenging enough. I did very well every year, and I remember always being surrounded by color and arts. they have a book fair twice a year, a spring carnival, a Halloween parade, and so much more for your children to enjoy. Please take this seriously!! 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.
