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 Just another terrible Lansing School District school. Math and reading scores far below the state average. Send your kids to a charter school, Holt School of Choice, or anyplace besides Lansing School District. Close Quote

Open Quote Public Montessori is a great option! While Lansing schools aren't well rated, Wexford provides opportunities not available in our native school district so we drive kids to school 25 minutes away to have a multi-age Montessori program including 2 weeks of zoo and nature field trips and the district's overnight camping program the kids have done every year since Kindergarten. We love Montessori so kids can work at their own pace inspired by conceptual learning in a way that traditional education doesn't include naturally. This is a great option for advanced kids to work ahead without skipping a grade and those who need more help without being left behind. It's like an IEP for every student! 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.
