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.

Unfortunately this is a school that is set up for failure. I have 3 children going to this school and have had numerous of problems from other students and staff. I have had multipal meetings asking to have my children moved to another safe classroom setting where they might have a slight chance of learning and were denied. They are understaffed and over populated. There is no hope or help at this school location and as a parent the expectations I have for my children were let down on EVERY aspect. The school is unsafe and somebody needs to go in and do a investigation on the staff and administration and school curriculum. My 1st grader came home with a paper from his teacher that was list of all the "bad" kids on it with the stuff they do and say and was filled with cuss words. To give a child this paper that is marked with cuss words in no envelope is so unacceptable unprofessional and inappropriate. And is there some student teacher confidentiality? This was a sheet of paper with all the different "bad" students as she stated on it. This school should be shut down. They are in violation of so many rules. 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.
