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 Bad leadership, parents are snubbed by administration, no communication, a lot of their decisions do not make sense. They also have put up a cell tower inside the school/district grounds which may not be in the health interests of the kids. Not sure if it was properly approved and an EIA study done prior to the decision being taken. Close Quote

Open Quote The change in administration at this school 3 years ago was for the worse.

The philosophy of this school is that parental involvement is neither needed nor required. Junior High kids are unique and parents should not participate in activities. This is why honors student recognitions take place when parents are unable to attend - in the middle of the day.

Communication for the administration is virtually none.

Starting in 2010/11, there will be no electives offered. The district claims that it is because of the budget crisis.

In the 2008/09 school year, the budget study committee overwhelmingly recommended closing Ida Jew which would have resulted in a savings of $1,500,000. Instead, the board decided to keep the school open (presently under enrolled) and the superintendent kicked out all of the inter-district transfers because he has upset with them for involving the media in trying to keep the school open. This resulted in the loss of $500,000.

In summary, the poor stewardship of the Mount Pleasant Elementary School District resulted in a loss of $2,000,000 to the district. The district also layed off teachers but not a single district office employee was let go. They were all moved to positions funded by monies that could not be touched. 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.
