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.

Monday, November 24, 2014

I am a parent and a teacher. I have great regret at placing my children in IA. The charter/mission statement seems great, but the staff lacks the ability to implement the charter/mission. The leadership of the school leaves much to be desired. In my dealings and observations of the Director, I fear that she may be a true narcissist and lack the ability to truly lead a school of this magnitude. The kindergarten teacher and kindergarten/first grade teacher lack the credentials to be teaching in a public school. The rest of the school is in disarray. If you choose to give this school a try, please listen to your inner voice! If things don't seem quite right, be strong and deal with it immediately. Don't let the administration or staff manipulate you into thinking that you just don't understand the "philosophy". Close Quote

The staff handles complaints very unprofessionally and harrass you until you give up i strongly reccomend do not send your child here unless you are new age. 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.
