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 Blue Ribbon Award and one of the best high schools in Illinois and the country. Close Quote

Saturday, November 10, 2018

Open Quote We are proud to have our children here. The leaders are very open to feedback and reply quickly to requests. Our children are being appropriately challenged every day. The teachers provide enrichment to keep the kids motivated. Our school received exemplary status in ISBE on October 31, 2018. We are pleased to see how much the administrators and teachers stand behind the kid's performance daily. Close Quote

Open Quote The students are great, but the teachers and admin are terrible. What a lazy bunch of immature adults. They spend all of their time worrying about their own personal problems like the students are not even there. No wonder there are so many bad reviews. And the scores are all dropping. 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.
