Open Quote Teachers are very subpar, to say the least :/ Close Quote


by a parent
Friday, August 13, 2010

Open Quote While it's only the beginning of the year, I am happy with what the experience has been like so far. My son is a third grader which I think is a time of learning critical information, so I am happy that he has a very small class, I believe 15 or 16 students. He came from a very good school with 24/26 students and sometimes I felt he got lost in the shuffle in regards to improving areas that he needed to work on and getting the personal attention that often times an only child may need. Will keep you all updated. 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.
