Open Quote I had two kids at that school from 2009 until 2012. Not a good experience. Office staff is not bad but the learning experience my kids had was horrible. Bad grades, teachers didn't help. One of my kids was bullied up to the point the police was involved. But the teacher didn’t want to give a declaration, she preferred to have her eyes closed. All the kids were interviewed and they corroborated the abuse of one child against mine. The school suspended the kid for 3 days and he is back to school as abusive as ever.

At the point that both of my children repeated their grade. Now they are at another school, doing awesome, no bulling, excellent grades. 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.
