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 Be mindful if you child is not WHITE in this school the teachers will treat your kid differently. Everything a minority child does is scrutinized. There are 2 African American teachers in the whole school and this does not reflect the student population. If your minority child is smart and above average they will still be overlooked and treated as if they don't exist. Teachers tend to segregate "black" students and seat them together and disregard them if they participate by raising their hands in class. The test scores are average and they have the nerve to treat kids differently. New Town Elementary has a higher black student population and their test scores are way above average compared to Reisterstown. The building is old, it's cold in the winter and over 100 degrees in the summer. White children segregate themselves from "other" kids that are not like them and they are not very friendly. There are very few extra curricular activities and MOST teachers could really care less about the BLACK students. My child comes home everyday complaining, crying and upset because of what they have to deal with everyday. It's sad that a child recognizes racism, when racism is NEVER a topic in our home. Thanks Reisterstown for showing my child how sick the world really is. I can't wait until the school year is over. Close Quote

Open Quote The school is definitely diversified, with Black students being the least (my grandson is the only Black kid in his class). You have to monitor your child to make sure they are not being overlooked. After two days of monitoring him in the class, I am very disappointed with this school. If you care about your child's education, do not send them to this school. My daughter and I are seriously looking into ways of getting him into a different school. Big disappointment. 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.
