Most of these ratings especially through " great schools ", are " heavily censored", so the ratings are substantially LOWER. This school claims to be a 5 STAR rating, but what that really means " we made the cut for more Funding, so we dont have to lay off teachsters ". This school leaves many Students behind at the expense of the Old F-CAT, now in favor of the new "COMMON CORE" propaganda being pushed by the TEACHERS UNION. This new Method of Propaganda Studies does nothing but turn Students and Teachers into ZOMBIES, by CENSORING Educational Value in favor of Communist Propaganda. In other words, they learn GARBAGE, and this school is that benefactor. As for the Teachers, Zombies......mostly Slaves to the Adgenda as are the STAFF Principal herein "the fuhrer". SO, if your looking for a Good Communist Education based on CENSORSHIP, FARNELL aka "Stalag 13" is your commandant. Close Quote

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.
