Open Quote I feel that the students get "pushed" on to the next grade reguardless if they were getting low grades or not. I also feel that if the children are not allowed to have cellphones out that the staff should also abide by those same rules. Paying attention to the children and their needs are more important than having their nose stuck in a cellphone. An example should be set. And children who are having multiple issues with specific subjects should be helped more. Errors should be corrected by the teacher, and should not have to be corrected by the parent after it's graded. (considering there are almost always more errors found after it's even graded). Our children are our future, and we also count on the teachers to help them become successful young adults one day. 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.
