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 I love SOAR. I've never been happier at school.
First off, I look forward to school, well, I mean, waking up is never fun, but once I get there it is! The teachers are all so nice and supportive! The only tricky part is that you have to try hard to succeed. But it's not like you're throwing your life away to academics, you're just putting in a little more time. If you're looking for support and preparation, and fun, SOAR is for you! Close Quote

Open Quote While SOAR is still quite a "young" school, the students in this area finally have an option to help them seek out a brighter future. SOAR is primarily geared toward students who intend to pursue math & science careers, however students with nearly any interest can find their place at SOAR. The biggest disappointment about SOAR is the lack of sports and other extra curricular activities that a conventional high school environment might offer. In the end, the pros far outweigh the cons and the education available to students at SOAR is far superior to that at any other schools in the area. Close Quote

Open Quote SOAR High School is an excellent school. Not because the teacher are great and or the student are smart it just our own willness to learn and our desire to succeed in life. SOAR is an execellent opportunity to go to college and meet new people. You dont have to be the smartest kid on the block but if you have the spark to learn then SOAR will make your fire burn brightly. 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.
