Open Quote Parents: find a different school. Huge issues with the administration turning blind eyes to bully issues, not holding students accountable for their words/actions. Pathetic. Pulling my kid asap. Close Quote

Open Quote We have our second child at Dan Nolan Middle School. Nancy High is an amazing principal! She shows excellent leadership with the students. Our son attended 6th - 8th grade at Dan Nolan, and he is an ESE student. The teachers and staff were great with our son, and he's now in high school making mostly A's. Our daughter now attends Dan Nolan, and she, too, has had an amazing experience with the teachers and staff. I have nothing but great and positive remarks about this 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.
