Open Quote The school focus on discipline instead of learning. The school is nasty. It should be closed. They literally have a roach infestation year after year. They don't supply soaps in bathrooms. The bathrooms are nasty. There are water stains on the ceilings. Fights every day. Just a disgrace. I hear that they are not the worst schools in the county. There is no moral at this school. My son stayed sick his first year there. My son graduated from this school. I'm embarrassed of this school. Most of teachers and counselors clearly gave up on these students. Some of the teachers are racist. The counselors are very unprofessional and lazy. The teachers just give a lot of work. Extracurricular activities are always canceled. What school you know that doesn't celebrate homecoming, school spirit, or special privileges for the seniors. Just poor. The principal is never there to see what actually goes in this school. She lets a few teachers run the school. There is no communication with parents regarding the progress of their child. The teachers show favoritism to certain students at the school. They need teachers that are well trained to deal with students with all different backgrounds and behaviors. The teachers spend too much instruction time dealing with bad behavior. 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.
