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 The most remarkable comment about this school will be "POOR ACADEMIC PROGRAM". Unfortunately, it seems they believe they are doing something extra-ordinary. Kids do not learn, teachers do not care, there is no follow-up. Parent -teacher communication consists of weekly newsletters and just one meeting during whole year.
My son attended this school at 2nd grade, coming from a foreign country. I heard poor things about American education system, but I wasn't expecting this poor. Lakewood was a schoolwith high ranking and this was the reason for us to chose this area to live. It is a total dispappointment. We are about to come to the end of the school year and my son is much behind where he was last year.
The homework (especially the optional ones) make me feel the teachers expect parents teach their kids.
You can not get proper feed back about the performance of your child in class. You receive report cards with an awkward marking system (this is the problem in whole MD). As you read it you understand that marking is done by someone really confused. 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.
