Overall, this is an excellent school. Few disappointments-- until 8th grade science began a climate change/indoctrination section with no opposing points of view, and void of sound scientific method/analysis Close Quote

Academically strong, but very few extracurricular activities. Kindergarten has 24 students in each class with NO assistants to help. Overall student-to-teacher ratio is much higher than what this site shows. High staff turnover each year. Can't hire a principal. School board and CEO have a "deal with it or take your kid elsewhere" attitude. Lacking facilities. Always having financial problems and use their charter status to justify the chaos that is constantly swirling at the school. 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.
