This school is an excellent option for students living in Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, San Miguel, and surrounding areas. I love the small-school feel, the amazing teachers, and the administration that values whole child learning. They offer STEAM or STEM learning, after school sports, Service and Project Based Learning, enrichment opportunities, Destination Imagination, an annual theatre production, and my favorite--character development. I love that our children are taught to identify their own strengths and struggles, to believe in themselves, and learn creatively. All three of my elementary-aged children are very happy here and are doing well academically. Close Quote

like I said on another site almond acres lacks consistency. teachers come and go so my kid wonders who the next teacher will be because they don't stick around. not sure if discplines strict enough either compared to our previous school. things seem not as organized but maybe its getting better? we hope so 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.
