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 Pinckney Elementary is not the school you should send your child to. State testing will show there are much better schools in the city. The facilities are old and the school should be closed. More importantly, the school secretary and principal are extremely close-minded and rude to parents and children. The percentage of parent involvement is extremely low because no one wants to work with staff. On countless occasions, I have overheard the principal comment to various students (individually) how great it is they weren't tardy for once. It is not the child's fault if they are tardy; if it is a problem, it is one to be discussed between staff and the parent, not the child! My son was tardy a few times and although it was never more than 1 minute late, he was treated like the worse student in the school...he is in second grade! School should be a safe place for kids to learn and feel welcome and Pinckney fails to provide that security. 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.
