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 Jefferson Rise has been damaging for me in so many ways. I don't feel like a have a voice and I don't really feel cared about in this system. Me and other students have had a problem with a racist student who uses the n-word and attends this school, and her mom who just so happen to work there. Not a day goes by that I don't feel stressed at this school. The curriculum is horrible and I don't feel like I'm learning. Just being overloaded with work and homework. I can't wait to leave.

Open Quote I feel Jefferson rise takes away too much freedom of character, and rights as a person a a child. It not like any other school at all, very similar to a elementary school, no schedules or periods, lunch is horrible. If you put your child there expecting a normal middle school experience let that go! I wish I would have never spent my middle school years hear. It’s easy to get in in trouble for literally nothing !! They will write you up, suspend you, do anything with out any care wheather you deserved it or not. 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.
