Open Quote The worst 2016-17 year! We transferred for 2017-18 to another school because of our experience.
Our child was completely bored, not in the least bit challenged academically. He was nearing the end of first grade and his teacher was still teaching kindergarten grade level material. Most Students are tracking far behind where they need to be grade level wise and therefore the students who are academically on track already do not excel because the teachers dedicate all their time to catch up the remaining 95 of their class.

There are constant behavior issues. I have seen students throw chairs at their teachers.

Major attendance issues.

The administration is very strict and not welcoming to parents. No sense of community in the least even when we had made several attempts to get involved. 22 teachers left after the 2016-17 school year. Close Quote

Open Quote My son had preschool speech lessons at Sedalia Park. We were very pleased with the level of attention that was given for his specific issues and how friendly the teachers and staff are at this 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.
