This school has helped to mold & educate my grandchildren, in a way that I see as wonderful, they love their school, teachers and friends. This is a school that cares about your child, even if you out on the weekend and you see a teacher or even if they see you first, they acknowledge you. Thank you ISNP for helping mold wonderful young adults. Close Quote

The leadership of academics and athletics are very unfamiliar with the aspects of their job. They lack the proper experience to take this school in the right direction. Over the past year , there has been a steady decline in all aspects of the school from Admin. Many teachers are excellent, they just lack leadership. Close Quote

Love the teachers but administration has gone downhill. They are in over their head and very inexperienced. Poor choices are being made left and right and it is very concerning. 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.
