Open Quote PLEASE don't send your children to this school. The bullying is rampant, the teachers are pulled into positions that they are not trained for, and the administration is totally overwhelmed with growing the school (remember, charter schools are businesses- so it's all about how many kids can they fit into this location) instead of focusing on the needs of your kids. The school is new and lovely, but do not be taken in by this alone. They are selling you on a "family" experience, but this is never how family should be treated. PLEASE watch out for the well being of your kids and find another 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.
