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 Wonderful School and kids!!!! Strong principal/school leadership, Challenging academic programs, Excellent teachers, Friendly office staff ...A+++ rating Close Quote

Open Quote This school is horrible. Run in a militant style punishing children for forgetting simple things such as an ID lanyard with two hours of detention after school. Making children wear backpacks the size of a mountain because there is not enough time between classes. Allowing bullying and harassment to continue to physical means then giving the girl who fought back the boy who attacked her suspension when she said I thought he was going to beat me up. What is ETL(elect to learn) nothing more than a fancy name for detention but it is not used for what we as parents think detention is. Was not detention for the bad kids, the ones who acted out or were disrespectful? How can honor students constantly end up in detention? 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.
