I would not recommend this school. The teachers are terrible. They don't want to teach these students, they just fail the students. Awful!! Close Quote

This was the worst school I've ever been in. All the students are extremely disrespectful to authority figures. Most teachers there can't manage the class rooms because the kids are just so out of control. I hardly learned anything throughout the entire school year because there is no way to even concentrate in a class room full of kids acting as if they were wild animals. Thank god I will be moving to another school, because that school is just unbearable! Parents, if you truly care about your kids education, do your kids a favor by not letting them into that school.

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.
