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 kid has been attending this school since kindergarten and the experience has progressively deteriorated to the extent that I cannot wait for him to finish with this school.

The lower grade teachers were great, but 4th and 5th grade – not so much. The 5th grade teacher in particular is seen outsourcing the entire learning in the form of massive homework without introducing these concepts properly. Kids are harassed constantly in the name of preparing them for the middle school. Kept receiving feedback that my kid is not keeping up with homework and I thought that only my kid is struggling. But recently found out that most of the kids are struggling in this class and most of them are now less confident, scared of failure and even more scared of the middle school.

The office ladies are absolutely terrible in their attitude. Are famously known for yelling and talking down with everyone walking in. In last five years, I cannot think of one instance where I have seen them or heard about them being kind to anyone. I am willing to bet that they are unemployable in any other profession as such attitude is not saleable anywhere. I blame the principle for encouraging such attitude.

The school nurse is and exception and have heard a lot of good things from many kids. 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.
