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 Race was the at the forefront of nearly every class in OPRF. Students are forced to focus on anti-colonialist, revisionist social sciences more than anything else. There is a lot of quiet anger and resentment and racial tension at this school.

I would not recommend it to anyone. Close Quote

Open Quote Neo-Marxist Critical Race Theory applied to a school system. Heavy emphasis on racial conflict in nearly social sciences - math and hard sciences lagged far behind.
Did not read a single work by Hemingway at the high school he attended highlights this.
Horrendously bad. Close Quote

Open Quote Grew up in Oak Park in the 90's and went to OPRF. I was well prepared for college and will be completing a PhD within a few months. 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.
