Open Quote .piper is an amazing school. people have doubts about this school because of the events that have taken place in the past. Not every high school is perfect. you will still have fights and what not, as if your school is perfect. i wish i could say that about all schools. unfortunately, in this day and age, bad stuff still happens. either way. this school really is fun and gets involved with the students and they care about the students graduating. if you're a senior in trouble, the first quarter, the counselors will pull you over and help you to get your act back in place. as well goes for the rest of the students.

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.
