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.

Excellent teachers, early office hours for those needing help. Lots of extracurricular activities and constantly growing and expanding with the technology we are sure to be using in the future! Close Quote

My children go to this school, so did my older children. The only thing I can say good about it is, at least I can help them learn when they get home, I get to spend a lot of time with them, teaching them the things they should have learned in class, but with the school being the way it is, they (my children) are more concerned with being picked on and/or bullied!!! As for the principal... YOU SHOULD BE FIRED!!! The Assistant Principal is a much more qualified and all-around better person for the job!!!! Close Quote

If you want your child to get the most horrible education... GO TO MAGGIORE!
If you want your child to be put down by cafeteria staff and Principal.... GO TO MAGGIORE!
If you want to go where parents don't care about their children.... GO TO MAGGIORE!

The ONLY positive things are that MOST of the teachers there CARE! BUT due to Principal having the WORST people skills the teachers CANT provide a good and safe place for the children to learn. Don't try and reach out to the school board either... THEY DO NOT RETURN YOUR CALLS.

RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN FROM THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!! 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.
