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.

Sunday, July 4, 2010

Ms bratland the kinder teacher has the most loving heart.. kids adore her parents want her to move on with our kids lol...

Ms Casteneda 3rd grade I had for both my boys... they are not easy kids but she always saw the good in them. she is soft and kind hearted. Her teaching methods are like a mom to her child. kids want to go to school when they are with her!My son was in another class and I had him switched to her. Cody was the happiest lil man when he was in her class. He felt smart and cared about.

MR Gabbarre 4th grade, I do not know why he is an elmentry teacher hes so smart.. he should be at UNLV! he teaches children to be more independent, and even the smallest question my child had was turned into a lesson.He has excellent communication with parents and really inspires the children to do their best.

MS CROSS.... ohhhh my goodness, if you get her consider asking to change classes, she is bitter and yells at the children. Yes your child will get good grades but at the cost of hating school.

MS Wilson, now a speach teacher I think... Jsut like Ms Casteneda... AMAZING!

Office personal, anya, ms pam... the kind of people you want to deal with. It just their nature to be happy and kind. they go out of their way to help you. 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.
