As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote Once your student gets pigeon-holed into a scholastic category such as poor at math they will stay that way no matter your request for a re-evaluation from the school. Our son has been ranked above the 50 in District math in 14 out of 15 of the last map scores. Yet, because he scored lower than 50 at a certain time, he was placed in the lowest math class and has not really been challenged since. We have requested for him to be moved into a harder class but they have done nothing to put him in the most appropriate class. Close Quote

Open Quote This school did well for my first two children but has failed to help my third. We petitioned multiple times to have our son moved to a more difficult math class as he was bored in his current position. Although the teachers\admin claim to listen and smile along, our requests fell on deaf ears. Subsequently we have a very bored student who could do so much more if the school would simply challenge him. But in this school, once you are pigeonholed so you will remain. 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.
