NAf appears to be in a period of adjustments, that is frequent staff and administrative changes. The middle school lacks extra curricula activities. My child is well adjusted after two years; however, should there be more integration between the high school and the middle school, students can become more productive. As a willing volunteer, the school does not follow through to capture volunteers. Close Quote

NAF is a wonderful school, My son is a current student of NAF and I have no complaints at all. The Faculty and Staff are some of the most professional educators that I have come across in a long time dealing with the Baltimore City Public School System.The children seem to know what they want out of there education and NAF prepares them for a bright future.

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.
