Open Quote Honestly, this school is terrible. My son hasn't learned a single thing since he's been here, and he says they stay on one subject for nearly two months, maybe even three. Close Quote

Open Quote Teacher call parent with vice principal that my kindergarten was not able to follow routine on second day of school teacher put my kindergarten to the wrong bus number teacher confirmed she saw her go on bus number two obviously she didn't because my daughter was on bus number 3
Teacher was not concern of my child but annoyed that she had to teach my daughter extra harder that's is what kindergarten suppose to be. Teaching kids that parents weren't able to teach them at home. They shouldn't judge parents. Close Quote

Open Quote This school we feel is less about our children and more about looks. We do not ever see the principal and the couple times we have there is no enthusiasm for our children and the school. Time for a change I'm sorry to say. We're moving for hopes of a better elementary education. Some great teachers here though. 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.
