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 Great teachers and wonderful school. Our son loves attending. Close Quote

Open Quote My son has been attending CEE since he was 2 years old, and to date I am still very happy with CEE. The school is small and class sizes are small so you have a feel of family and of belonging. The teacher's work very closely with me in helping my son to become all he can be as well as to be a respectful, confident young man. My son knows everyone in his class, and every day he looks forward to going to school. The parents are very involved and want to know you as a parent. If you open yourself up to others, you'll meet very nice parents and develop lifetime friendships.

Academically this is a top notch school as well. My son has learned some sign language, some Spanish and knows more about marine life then I do. I realized this when we went to SeaWorld. :)

My son will be attending CEE all the way through 8th grade. My son loves his school, teachers, and friends.

I highly recommend this school. Close Quote

Open Quote My Daughter has attended this school over the last 2 years, she loves her school, she is doing very well here her grades are excellent, She has no issues with bullying she appears to be well liked, we have hopes and we pray that before we leave this school to move on to high school that CEE will be able to expand through the 12 th grade we would most definitely be happy to continue here.

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.
