We didn't fit in with the school culture. It could have been COVID.
We expected the Museum would be integrated into all areas of instruction. Not do much. Science was the only area that hit the mark,
Overall, it felt a bit superficial, cliquish without as much academic drive as its potential.
Didn’t really foster community with all students. PTA - Non existent except for the membership dues. Close Quote

Horrific leadership at this school. No wonder the grade has dropped to a C Close Quote

The teachers are caring but the administration doesn't communicate well. There is high turnover of teachers, even within a school year. 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.
