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 I Love Lyman Hall. I had nothing but great memories made there as well as did learn a whole lot. I especially enjoyed learning from my vo-ag teacher Mrs. Amenta. She inspired me to progress within what she taught me in school when she taught me back in 1996. I did open my own little business called Home Sweet Home Arrangements all due to her and her teachings, inspiration, and incouragement. Even though I hated the bus ride from New Haven to Wallingford; I would love to go back in time and re-live my high school moments again. Also, as one of my English teachers said my junior & senior year that most students constantly say I cnt wait to be done with high school; but you will always say once you leave I would love to go back. I truly never believed him but I find myself often saying I would do anything and would love to go back if I could. 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.
