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 had really bad experiences here. Our son is a straight A student and one of the top of their class. Nevertheless, he was bullied and harassed by a teacher at this school. We tried to work with the school to figure out what was going on and find a way to resolve this. Ultimately, the management was so bad that it was impossible to do so. We realize that maybe it had to do the the fact that they seem to be a sinking ship and we weren't the only parents voicing a concern. They didn't seem to be trying to resolve anything, just minimize the issues that were coming up form different parents left and right. The kids here seem miserable. A theory I have is that they all seem bored and oppressed and this brings out the worst in the kids. A lot of the kids are bullying, spewing racists comments to each other, sexually harassing each other, and many of them seem disengaged from what they are learning. It seems to me that independent thinking is not welcome here and they mainly want conformists and kids that like to be told what to do and not how to think. I always felt bad every time I dropped my kid off at school, and this year we were happy to send him to a new school where I can see his true self come out again. 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.
