My son started below Grade average when he started kindergarten. They have a Secondary class for kids behind so he ended up going full time. The time it hit January he was caught up and where he was suppose to be at for his grade level. Close Quote

I love this school. My kids had friends, they were challenged but not overwhelmed, and they had the best teacher ever. She was a fresh new face and all the kids seemed to really love learning from her. The building it's self felt open and easy to navigate as well. Though they used Common Core which is extra confusing for kids (and adults) they did not use ONLY Common Core but a mixture of lessons to make it easier for students to understand the concepts and find a method for the individual to learn best at. The teachers I met as well as the principal were willing to talk out any issues you may have with real interest in what is best for you and your family. They acknowledge that you are in charge of your kids instead of just expecting you to do what they want no questions asked. 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.
