Open Quote Its an A school again. And a program for autistic children. Close Quote

Open Quote I totally agree. The principal of this school Patricia Smith doesn't give a hoot about the kids education and her way of treating a parent is absolutely disgusting coming from a principal. I don't understand how can she be allowed to run a school with her Unprofessionalism. It's very sad. My kids first school year there and it will be their last. All because of her. Close Quote

Open Quote This school is a poster child for the need for a voucher system. The school is extremely large and most of the administration (especially principal Patricia Smith) and most teachers don't give a hoot about the children or their education. One of my daughter's teachers informed her class that she didn't care how they did on the FCAT because she was still going to get her paycheck. I think this attitude is very prevalent on this campus. When my son started there 9 years ago, the community was so much kinder and parents interested. Very sad. 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.
