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 That's right all reviews here ...parents disappointed I'm the way the principal looks down on us....yes if you're not a staff in that school your not considered any important when concerned about you're kids.the school staff its very rude unfriendly and if you don't speak English i seen they put you off ....its not a secure school either ..they allowed my sons father taking my kids our of school without even asking for ID he isn't even suppose to get them only on the weekends!!! Through court.....also one of my child is gifted and as i was told by teachers she was behind and were going to hold her back i fought with the district and had her tests from ucla and told them that if they held her back I'd open up a case against them....i just pulled all 3 out and put them in private school......teachers talk about other parents..principal acts like she's the president of the united states and never their to give back to what really matters these kids. If i knew how to protest our get the medias attention i would and gather all the parents that have been mistreated by the staff this school would be so much better they would definitely have a better school conduct.except these parents are afraid too speak out because they say they have no rights since some have no papers...not fair dislike and would put more insights here but for what !?

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.
