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.

This is a very poorly run school. The staff seems to have zero direction from the Principal and the Principal really doesn't have a clue. I will never say my child is never an issue, but after this school year and the way the administration has handled themselves during this crisis I understand why my child was struggling in class.
NTI does not mean TEACHERS call it in! ZERO effort by teachers to communicate proactively during this NTI process. I would expect at least 1x a week ZOOM call for the class to explain lessons, but no calls. Google classroom is a joke! Teachers, if you put an assignment out there, set a completion date! And, classwork should NEVER be optional! The children want to hear from their teachers! SO TEACH! The computer is not a teacher! With all the Teacher workshop days, you would have thought they would have been trained in some of these applications. Or at least willing to learn! Apathy should not be the #1 trait of your teachers!
Until there is a regime change at this location, I would advise anyone to find another school. The Superintendent knows he has an issue, but has no clear solution at this time! Allowing the Principal to accept mediocrity is not acceptable! 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.
