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.

Fantastic teachers every single year. Love the movement program and focus on incorporating activity into learning. Award winning green building, garden program and awesome after-school programs. Close Quote

We are doing the full day Kindergarten class and have a excellent teacher. Our child loves school because of the teacher and loves learning. The movement program is excellent, and the kids love it. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a school in Erie. It's the best. Close Quote

Great movement program, keeps the kids moving, active, and healthy. Questionable administration decisions, punishments like making the kids "walk the line" at recess as pay back for bad behavior in front of peers during recess. Punishing the whole class when only 1 or 2 kids are misbehaving. Military mentality which is doing more harm than good to the kids. Someone from the school board needs to review and investigate the office administrative staff to make sure that they are fit to lead and be role models for 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.
