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 Awesome school awesome teachers really good lunch. Close Quote

Tuesday, February 23, 2016

Open Quote The students are not giving one on one help, mostly for 2 reasons; one the teachers rely on them to use devices (no text books for each student to take home, all copies or nothing at all (the copies are half sheet of paper so small and poor copies that they aren't able to read them)and they have too many kids in each room over 25 per room. The school Admin. worries more about how the school looks then it does for the learning. This school in the past was a school that was well above in the learning curve, now they are below. Parents and teachers have no communication between them, teachers come to work do what little they have to do and leave. I have personal left messages on phones, and written message and nothing was ever done. The school needs a lot of help to get back were it once was. 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.
