Open Quote We have been here for five years and my youngest, this is his first year. We absolutely love our teachers! We plan on going for another five :) Close Quote

Open Quote Academically this school is great. The school has an excellent Gifted Program. They offer plenty of extracurricular activities most paid by parents. All this barely makes up for: 1. huge teacher turnover - many experienced teacher leave the school every year and sometimes in the middle of the school year 2. weak leadership - parents' opinions don't matter 3. carline is a nightmare - school was built on a small lot with one entry/exit point yet has over 900 students 3. exclusive parents community - you must spend 24/7 at the school or be close to admins, otherwise they treat you like you're privileged to go to this school 4. school events are a logistical nightmare - not enough parking for award ceremonies and "bring parents to school" days. We've been at this school for 5 years and it's just getting worse. I will be looking for another school for middle school (Bell Creek is the same). If academics is all that matters to you, by all means pick this school. But if you want to keep your sanity and have a community school experience, avoid it if you can. 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.
