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 It has a very good medical program and it has the nicest students/staff/peers. The school is very organized, also the school is very clean. Everyone is nice to students no matter what color you are, and the school is very big you will have all of your classes anywhere in the building. There are no boundaries set like Springbrook High School maybe Blake High School, that's why I recommend Paint Branch High School. GO PANTHERS!!!! Close Quote

Open Quote Paint Branch has some wonderful teachers and students. Some kids are not serious about their education so that may be a factor in low test scores. The AP program is wonderful, it gives students a chance to experience how college classes may be like in the future. There are approximately 25+ students in each class. If students need extra help in each class it can get crowded during lunch in their respective classes. But there are programs such as National Honor Society (NHS) which offers the opportunity for students to tutor other students. Overall a very good school, needs work on the vending machines (junk food) but a good school. But with the completion of the new school, it will be more crowded and teachers may become swamped, as well as crowded hallways and buses. 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.
