Open Quote Brand new school, brand new attitude, and a school that has the quality to make a difference.. Close Quote

Open Quote The principal Roxanne Paulsen is wonderful. She gets to know each of her students names and makes sure she is involved in everything they do. The teachers are exceptional. My son is special needs and she makes sure that she places him with a teacher that is suitable for his needs. My daughter who is the opposite of my son is also placed with a wonderul teacher. The school provides several things for their students that are lacking academically and make sure the parent involvement is there. Wonderful 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.
