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 This is a warm & welcoming neighborhood school with a great community & tons of parent involvement. My little girl has made many friends there. There are many family events throughout the year, including a school theatre production and a talent show. Teachers have been great, very competent and they encourage the children to have fun learning... lots of positive discipline techniques like "pajama day". There is before and after-care available at the school for a modest cost, and even occasional after-school electives which my daughter loves. Close Quote

Open Quote NSS is a wonderful school and my son loves it. Everyone there truly takes the children's best interest to heart. The staff is wonderful and the opportunities offered to our children are great. The PTA and general parent involvement is outstanding, I'm so pleased we chose to move to Fairfield. 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.
