My 13 year old son is a Bayonet point middle student in Pasco. He has been home schooled his entire life and wanted to try public school this year, needless to say he wishes he hadn't. At the beginning of the year his teacher said that his laugh was creepy. Months later, after he was punched in the face by one boy and shoved, pinched, and flicked by 2 of the boys friends on the bus, he came home and broke down,saying everyone hates him even the teachers and that a group of kids are calling him names. As it turned out, the same teacher that said his laugh was creepy, was allowing 6 students from her class to call him creepy on a daily basis. The name calling continued on in his other classes with these same students, one of the children was taking his ice pack and slaming it on his hands during the lunch period. I went to the school and spoke to the guidence councelor, all his teachers and the principal. The teacher denied having knowledge of any name calling or bullying. The only outcome was for my son to have all of his classes changed and his lunch seat moved. We have since had several more problems with other students, the same teacher and another member of staff. Of course the principal does nothing, exept raise his voice at me and tell me that my son is probobly making up problems with this teacher and these students to cover up something HE is doing wrong. My son has been called a faggot, a princess, creepy, physically assulted on more than one occasion, excuded from group projects; and the solution from the principal is always, I will have a talk with them about it, and that is the last I ever hear about it. You would think people that work with children would have a love for them and a want to help them be successful in life, BUTT the truth is they are just there for the PAYCHECK like a fastfood worker.

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.
