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.

by a teacher
Monday, August 9, 2021

I was a Special Ed teacher in Lake LA in 2014 and I cannot believe that this Principal is still there in 2021. She was my worst experience in the 30 years I’ve been a teacher in the private and public school systems. Sweet adorable kids, nice parents, and horrible leadership. Parents should investigate the place very carefully before sending their kids there. The school is far from reaching the average academic level. Moreover- it lacks compassion or open communication, and the wrong-doings in this place are mostly secretive, so if you are a common parent you will find it impossible to reveal what exactly is going on there! This Principal had done everything she could have to eliminate the severe section in the Special Ed program in her school, and managed the moderate section in an unprofessional way. IEPs were conducted in an unlawful manner and students were not treated right. She used to have her favorite teachers, who benefited plenty from being her “yes man” people, so if someone complained about these teachers’ shortcomings, the Principal never took care of the matter. Moreover- she used to promote and give special treatment to all those teachers who actually treated students in an unfair way just because they had never stood against her and always practiced full obedience. This Principal demanded a closed- mind and a limited view from teachers and used to send some teachers to spy after others and tell her what those teachers were talking about. She basically used every tool she could find in order to control the heart, mind, and actions of every employee in this school, and of course, any teacher or psychologist with some character or creativity ran away from this hole as far as they could. I am sure that even today, under her management, In this school good ideas are being demolished, innovative teachers are forced to leave, and mediocracy together with tyranny is being celebrated. This is very sad, especially because there is nobody in the district who would listen to you. 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.
