Open Quote Not recommended, at all. We’ve been at this school for 2+ years and it is the same every year. The staff has poor communication skills. Low morale. Bullying. Definitely not for kids who will need a 504, IEP, or EIP. Close Quote

Open Quote Overall the school is decent, my child has been there for 3 years. Every year it’s always small problems etc: very unorganized! My daughter teacher left about 2 months ago still subs! But that’s not my issue my issue is I have not received any grades at all, progress reports went home 2-3 weeks ago No child in that class recived one, reports cards come home this week. Still everyone is coming with no real answers!!!!! Yes I know my child is smart, but what if it was an subject she needed some improvement in the time between progress reports and report cards is that time. I have been to the school 2 times and called, and sent messages on the class dojo app with little to no help with this situation! It’s very very frustrating when it comes to my child education 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.
