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 There is a general lack of respect for the children and the parents. The principal appears to operate without administration policy in place or supervision. The teachers seem scared and/or angry under the principal's leadership. I did not realize how much of an impact this negative environment had on my child until we moved and she thrived in a healthy GATE program. As a parent, I found my little girl's experience at Crescent Elementary disturbing. Close Quote

Open Quote When concerns arose over the embarrassment of a child and inappropriate punishment, I sought clarification. The teacher did not show up to the meeting she called with the principal. I shared some of my concerns with the principal and although she seemed confrontational and loud, she said she would talk to the teacher. Later, I was asked to come back and meet with the teacher and principal again. As a united front, they tried to alter reality and bully me. In dictatorship fashion, I was not allowed to talk. Literally, the principal told me to “shut up”. It was surreal and unsettling. I went there hoping to be wrong, and they were berating me. I did not get the clarification I was seeking… well, unfortunately, I did get clarification. I suspect I saw just the tip of the iceberg. 3rd Grade GATE in 2012. 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.
