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 I have gone to this school for four years and its only gotten worse each year. I have witnessed bullying almost every day and teachers and staff handle it very poorly like they don't even care. Most of my class of 2019 are afraid they won't graduate because we have had the disadvantage of teachers who don't care for their students and believe the best way to teach is to give out as much homework as possible and hope the students teach themselves. I have overheard teachers talking badly about students to other members of staff and sometimes to students they like more than others. This school has an incredible amount of bias towards students and will give breaks to the students that teachers like most. The "leadership" of this school if you could even call it that is very ineffective and think the best way to motivate and teach their students a lesson is to punish them rather than giving the students the help they might desire to stay on track. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone and wouldn't be surprised if it's shut down in the near future considering the school is in massive debt from a superintendent who is one of the most paid superintendents in the state but has bankrupt the school he was at before ours. I pray for my fellow student's futures. 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.
