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 I've had a child be given excellent life building skills here, and a top notch education. She is now in 8th grade and has been excelling in Middle School. I can see all the building blocks at work. Thank you Lomarena! My youngest is also a student here and what she has already learned is amazing me. Close Quote

Open Quote Wonderful and caring teachers. They're doing a great job and are very in touch with their students as well as the parents; excellent communication. Lomarena is plentiful with the educational resources and volunteer help. My child looks forward going to this school everyday. It helps when she already loves learning! Over the past 4 years, every single teacher has been attentive to my child's education. That's a lot to say when they have many students to teach. None of the teachers had any qualms about me asking her to take it to the next level by challenging my child. 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.
