Open Quote I can’t say enough good things about this school. The principal is fantastic and has been there forever. The teachers often stay their entire career. It’s like a family. Close Quote

Open Quote I've been a parent of a student at Harbordale for two years and it's been a great experience. The school is on the smaller side, but it makes it feel more familiar. Most of the staff know my child's name and she knows theirs. Parent Involvement/Volunteering is amazing and provides additional learning resources for the kids that the State does not fund. The teachers we had so far, were great at what they do and I feel my child learned more than some of her friends at other schools. 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.
