My child has a learning disorder. Has trouble paying a attention.
Gets no help from teachers. If you "the teacher" can send home a note that my child was talking... you should be able to send me a note, that my child is not participating or is off task. Chets creek does not care if your child needs help. Do not bring your child here if they need extra help in class. Close Quote

If your child has special needs, this is not the school for them. If you aren't part of the already formed clique, this school is not for you. If you are not a teacher with your child enrolled in this school, this school is not for you. I am so glad I took my children to private school and they are now receiving the services they needed. Nothing is more infuriating than having teachers who are unable to help your child, blame your child, and insist they need certain medications. The teachers are fake, and the principal backs her teachers and does not listen to the parents. I would not recommend this school to anyone. 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.
