Open Quote Kindergarten was great. First grade was good. Second grade is when all the fun in learning is taken away. The superintendent assured me several times through the school year that children are required to have daily recess the principal thinks that structured kid friendly work out videos are sufficient. Recess is only even offered twice a week, and even then, god forbid there’s a cloud nearby, the weather is deemed not favorable and no recess is given, indoor recess is still not a much needed break from learning but another structured activity. This is not the only school in the district with this problem, it’s just the one I can speak to. If you believe recess is an important part of young children’s ability to learn, then this school is not for you. I highly recommend calling any other school in the district to find out what their definition and implementation of recess is before enrolling. And onto the educational aspect... if your child went to pre-k or preschool prior to starting kindergarten, be prepared for a very bored kindergartener as yours will already know everything they’re teaching. It will depend on the individual teacher if they can be bothered to challenge an advanced child (we lucked out here). First and second grade education seems fairly standard. Close Quote

Open Quote They do not give the students recess on a regular basis. Vocabulary tests use made up definitions that don’t match actual definitions 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.
