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? Horrible. It was grueling years of bad teachers and ineffective teaching and leading skills. The students did not like the school and hated the way they were taught and controlled. Everyone is very controlling and strict, but not in an effective way. Even some of the kindergarten teachers are cruel.
The special ed kids always had really mean aids with them. We would hear them yelling at the kids and making them cry.
A girl was being mean and calling my friend bad names that I cannot repeat. My friend didn't even know what they meant, and our teacher got my friend in trouble when she tried to defend herself verbally.
Not only that, but our 5th grade teacher never paid attention and he was centered around math and playing on his phone. The yard duties were very rude. A special ed kid went flying off a bar he was swinging on and fell crying at their feet and they didn't notice.
They keep the best kids who are silent in the cafeteria just because people were talking and the yard duties gave special treatment to the kids they favored as they are volunteers and mostly parents and family friends. One yard duty said we had, "Open-mouth disease." and told us to "Shut your mouths."
The teachers are strict and also give special treatment to the PTA kids, even when the other kids behave better and are way nicer to everyone. This isn't special treatment as in 'teacher's pet', it's special treatment as in 'You get all the privileges and can do everything even if it breaks the rules and the other kids can't.'
The yard duties are inattentive and often standing in groups on their phones or gossiping. 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.
