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 We have loved this school! The teachers, the administration and the staff all get to know the children and truly care about their growth. Close Quote

Open Quote The school's academics are are suffering due to this Next Gen crap. I am having to teach my kids at home to keep them up to speed all the time. The principal cares about image and appearances over real education. Kids are sitting in front of screens far too much. Good teachers are leaving to get away from the Next Gen model. There are some good things here, yes, but the negatives are starting to outweigh the good and I will be choicing my kids out of this school next year to a place where education matters more than image.

Open Quote My children love this school, I love this school. They are VERY hands on with any special attention that my kids need and keep me in the loop. I was VERY surprised that the ratings aren't all 5 stars. 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.
