Open Quote I found it unbelievable to see Castleford as a 2 Star school on here especially if you use test scores since it is one of the only schools in our area that has managed to pass AYP every year with a large majority of ESL students in addition to a large percentage of kids from very low income homes.

What your rating does not reflect is the tremendous amount of community involvement there is with this small town school. The local men's club gives scholarships to every single kid that goes on for college or technical/vocational education after they graduate. Many of the high school students are taking dual credit classes with the local community college, College of Southern Idaho.

We can't wait until our twin boys start school here. How can you beat a 12.1 student teacher ratio at a public school no less? 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.
