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 Alumni of the TAVS program at Susan H Nelson, which provides blended learning and independent study for students that struggle with the rigidness and one-size-fits-none of traditional schooling. I could go on and on about how nice the teachers are, or how thorough the APEX coursework is, or how cared for you feel. Alternatively, I could tell you about the $80,000 scholarship I was offered from a private university due to my academic performance at TAVS. That would never have been possible without the care and attention the faculty gave me. This school matters. It's ability to exceed through online material is even more evident post-COVID, when most every other school in the country did an atrocious job of transitioning online and just tried to Zoom everything. TAVS KNOWS how online learning works, knows how to engage you, and knows how to make you succeed. I'm living proof. 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.
