Open Quote Sugg is only as good as the student who attend. My children make good grades and attend each day. They do their homework and have been encouraged to strive for a higher level of education (College). Over half of the students at Sugg are not English as their first language students. There is a lot of violence at school, mostly girl vs girl.

The teachers at Sugg do the best they can with little or no parental participation. To many are one parent households with the parent working two or more jobs to make ends meet or are so strongly attached to the entitlements and therefore don't work at all.

All the teachers I have met and talked to are interested in trying to improve conditions at Sugg, but it is going to take more than 64 teachers and the administrative staff to make a difference. Its going to take Parents to get Involved.

If your child is a good student, he or she will get a good education at Sugg. If their study habits are poor, they will not. If you are a parent who takes an interest in your child's education, take an interest in Sugg too and we will all succeed. Simple as that. 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.
