Open Quote This is our 3rd year with isle of hope and so far we are very please . Great teachers and love the new administration. Close Quote

Open Quote Isle of Hope had a long history of being a "good school". I am not a fan of the k-8 model. My elementary students are highly influenced by middle schoolers, and it seems like behavior issues are a BIG problem school wide. I decided that my children will no longer continue their time at Isle of Hope. Close Quote

Open Quote Both my wife and I are alumnus (63-69)(71-77). It was a wonderful school then (Principle, Montene Swann) and has continued to be a hidden favorite to all that have had the pleasure of attending or working there. My son started there in 2006 and this is my daughters first year there. I could not be happier Close Quote

Open Quote This is a great neighborhood school with a lot of experienced teachers. We transferred here from another school and right away you could tell that my child's teacher had a lot higher expectations than the last 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.
