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 My kids are doing great at this school. I wish they have a program for preschoolers as well. Close Quote

Open Quote Principal is horrible! She uses scare tactics and threats to command good behavior. Teacher turnover is at a very high rate. Middle school grades has the highest rate of turnover. School can't keep the middle school fully staffed. Foreign language taught there is a joke. Their foreign language curriculum consists of learning from Rosetta Stone computer software with a teacher who doesn't even know the language. Teachers focus on high achieving students, and punish low achievers. For example, if student meets MEAP goal, they get lunch with movie. If student falls short of MEAP goal, then punished by eating lunch in sep room with no talking, no socializing.
So sad. Stay away from this school! 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.
