My son is only in Pre-K but even the older students are friendly and welcoming to him. His teachers are wonderful and the principal and staff are as well. As another reviewer said, you walk in the doors and feel welcome and can tell that your child is loved & nurtured! Close Quote

The teachers absolutely are incredible. When you walk in the doors you feel welcome & know that your children are loved and parents are encouraged to be involved. The principal shows the same kind of love & respect to the children that the teachers do-it's certain the tone of the school starts at the top & goes all the way down to the bottom of the ladder!

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.
