Tuesday, May 27, 2014

as a parent , I would not recomend this school to ANYONE. Poor comunication woth the parents. Lazy teachers. Thhis school ois really desorginized. They force you to comply with 20 volunteer hours and they are hard & cruel about it. I work & dont have the time to volunteer on school or pay for those hours. yes pay ($10.00 hr = $200) My daughter wasnt allow to go to get banket for 8th grade do to does hours. They dont care she was in the honor rool. That she work hard for her grades. the bankey should be a reward for them for compleated . Thius would be our last year.
DONT WASTE YOU TIME IN THIS POOR SCHOOL>.. 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.
