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'm was at the doctor with my step daughter and all I could hear while all the kids are outside all ages was cardi bs EXTREMELY inappropriate music for children under 17. Bc it's vulgar and about drugs and sex. And who is the principal and vice principal? And do the teachers think its better to put their playlist on while the kids are jumping in the bouncy house and rolling around in balls with hand holes? No its not that's not kid friendly edited. Something to needs to be and someone is basically promoting smoking weed doing x or your lame as the song is stating and being a prostitute because she proudly raps about I'm every song while she twerks. I can't believe this and my first cousin works at Adams this doesn't happen there even though it is a very poor area of town and a poor school as well she needs funding in her class. All adams teachers do but you guys need to really crack down on grown stripper/dope boy music you play around any minor in the school system and I'm also contacting my uncle on the board I'll be requesting drug screens randomly and drug dogs for the teachers. I doubt the school will take me seriously but no. I will stand for what's right. Even if its the teachers. Y'all should be ashamed of saying your a teacher teaching them dope girl stripper music OK?

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.
