Open Quote this is the worst school my daughter has attended. This school lacks everything, and needs to be shut down. the teachers have out of school relationships with the kids. Also the teachers and the favorite kids bullying other kids including mine. I went to teacher and parent dinner and she reeked of weed. the kids were listening to rap music with cuss words in it. My child has been jumped on video and nothing was done to the kids who did this. This school is terrible i do not think it is needs to be open my daughter has not learn nothing this year due to all the distractions the school has 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.
