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 We definitely bought into the idea of the Ridgeline "Family" but soon came to realize that the morale among the staff was low due to the inefficiencies of the administrators. Although many people will tout that Ridgeline is made up of great families and teachers, many of those people are leaving because of the prevalent issues that are being swept under the rug.

The lack of discipline allows bullying to happen throughout the school, with little to no consequences to stop the behaviors. Many families and teachers have brought this issue up to the administration, which has done nothing of value besides legally making sure they're covered instead of addressing the root causes of the issues.

Great sales pitch by the administration, but when push comes to shove and you are looking for true leadership and follow through, you'll just receive more sales pitch style discussions with little to no actual action. 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.
