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 I do want to share some thoughts on this school. I am the mother of 5 and grandmother of 10- I am an EMT and I also have a BS in psychology. Over the years I have seen alot of schools and dealt with school programs, sporting events- all the usual stuff. I have two grandchildren in this school. I AM APALLED AT THIS SCHOOL AND THE TREATMENT OF THEIR STUDENTS! The Christmas program, was unbelievable!. Not all the students were allowed to participate- only a random choosen few! Elementry students! That is ridiculous! Then to continue on their selective position, my grandson, was not allowed to participate in his classroom christmas party! We see in the media a concern for bullying in our school systems- well- how horrible is it then, when the school teachers and principles are the ones doing the bullying! What psychological damage are they doing, singling children out at this age, making them cry and to the point, when taken to a laywer, the child cries, because he is afraid of the teachers, the system and other students. Where the TAX PAID SYSTEM is failing to provide him with not only an education, but even a safe learning atmosphere! 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.
