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 Very terrible 1st and 2nd day of school. Unorganized, 40 kinders per class and only 2 classes. Not good for new/young kids that are already sad and nervous. They're 4,5,6 come on guys. Teachers running around moving students mid-day, changing classrooms, kids standing up because they don't have a seat and not one time did they apologize to the parents for the inconvenience. No heads-up or anything. Everything was found out the 1st or second day. My child went there for TK and for her to start kindergarten (still nervous) and her seat has been changed 2xs, she has no previous classmates in her new class so for her it's like going to a new school all over again. Terrible. Staff has no sympathy for any parents complaints. They're too busy trying to cover up their mistakes so they push the parents away. Get it together guys. Bad look. 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.
