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.

The teachers are wonderful and the learning environment is great. However, the staff at the front office are rude and condescending to the parents. Parents should feel free to call the school with any concerns, but instead they are talked down to and ridiculed. I even witnessed the school nurse embarrass a parent and make her cry in front of several staff and students. This problem should be addressed. Close Quote

I only score this school a 1 because I can't score it a 0 on this particular scale. If your child has ANY type of special need, this is NOT your child's school. They have absolutely no-one that can handle these needs NOR will they even attempt a try at it. If they have to work at it, they just assume have you come pick up your child and simply choose to ignore any and all issues. Their education levels may be decent, but I'd guess if I sent home every child I simply didn't want to deal with, of course, those false indications would be apparent. 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.
