Open Quote There is a prevalent air of condescension among many staff. The teacher to student ratio is too high to support adequate educational opportunities. The children are expected to be little robots and are disciplined for every minute infraction. There is almost no sports and limited extra curricular activities, and no advanced classes for gifted and talented students. Creativity is discouraged in the name of conformity. This is a small town school with small town standards and expectations. Close Quote

Open Quote They need new teachers & teaching methods. Teacher communication with parents is not there. Close Quote

Open Quote Religious intolerance and hostile staff. Bizarre educational practices that set children back and change from year to year. School allows teachers' religious beliefs to interfere with the curriculum. 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.
