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 I am a student at NSCA and I have been going there for 7 years and this is my last one(did not attend 6th grade). This school has great academics but unfortunately this year many teachers have left in the middle of the year or are absent during the schools days. Seeing that I have seen most of the schools changes would say the way we are currently operating is not good. There is all new authority staff and not surprisingly the middle school isn't cooperating and the "authority" doesn't have any authority. Sadly we,the middle school students, have been through too many changes and are tired of it so we have occupied our time with drama and no ones stopping it making our learning experience minimum. The change in teachers and deans does affect us no matter what the little letter they send home say! This school is trying but right now I DO NOT recognize it to any middle school parents..Sorry. IM sure once the new teachers and staff settle in and put reins on these student everything will work PEEERRRRFECTLY smooth but at least as for elementary it is ABSOULUTELY wonderful!! So that is why I rated 3 stars..Thank you for reading this and I hope it helped :]] 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.
