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 My experience at this school was negative overall. Unfortunately I was bullied badly and to the extent that it has impacted me later in life both personally and professionally. I should have complained about it but I did not. I am a male and quiet in demeanor and slight in physical stature. I was an athlete but that didn't matter when 10-12 people, some of them my sports teammates turned on me following bad advice from a bad apple, a girl of all things. I won't get too specific but it damaged me irreparably. I lost what little confidence I had. I became even more withdrawn and even went into hiding during lunch hours so I would not be attached. I'd like to ask some of these people how they would feel if their own kids were attacked the way I was back then. They would be furious. This all happened my senior year. They all ruined what should have been one of the best times of my life. You never get the time back. I even had to lie to one of my own kids about being bullied out of pure shame. I hope people really think their actions and word through before acting. They don't know the mental scars they create. 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.
