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 sadly had to spend 4 years at this school, SOME teachers were pretty great, but the basic of this school is if you aren't popular or in a sport then basically you're set up for failure. That is all I got out of this school, as well as way overpriced lunch. My doctor diagnosed me with anxiety and depression that I got from high school, before-hand I was fine.
On top of that, I had fallen and injured my knee and had, as my teachers syllabus said was required, a doctors hand written note saying I was not to be walking across to Harvest to assist a teacher for my class. Not only did she say I had to anyway, but the superintendent did not cancel school as stated in the rules when its less than -30 degrees. So I had to trudge through the snow in crutches and -35 degree weather.
Building wise, it was very decent. Other than most of the bathrooms having some part of it broken (often one toilet flooding the floor). I wish I never went here. 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.
