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 This school has become better over time. I certainly have seen improvment since I have been here. Since my first day I have enjoyed this school. I have had better CST scores in math now, scoring a perfect 600 last year. It also has good things to offer such a all the after school programs and Magnet academy events that we now have. I think your expeirence will also differ depending on the academy and teachers you have. I think the magent certainly is the best not just for the education but for the fun we get to have. If anyone will want to go to this school I certainly recommend the magnet academy. In the magnet the teachers are nice and always try to make the best possible desions for their students. The counsler is also very nice to everybody. I don't know a single student who doesn't feel comfortable talking to her, and from personal expierence I know most students will not really talk to the teachers and staff but i feel comfortable talking to everybody. Without her I feel the magnet would not be as fun and enjoyable as it is now. To conclude I think this is a good school and I think the good things don't get recognized at all. 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.
