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 love everything about Willow Brook. The teaching staff is extremely strong and cares about kids. We have found Dr. Aaron, the principal, approachable and child centered. What we love the most about Willow Brook is the diverse atmosphere of the students that attend the school. The staff focuses on academically challenging each student while teaching them good character. I have really enjoyed our time at Willow Brook and wish all schools could be like this one.

Open Quote I would not recommend this school to anyone who cares about kid's education and value the quality of education. The Principal of this school dismisses any parent's concern and stand up for the teacher but not for the student. I have very bad experience in interaction with Principal who always takes the teacher's side and does not want to change anything. If you want your child been an educated person, this is school is not for you, if you want your child just to know how to write basic information and to know how to calculate using calculator, perhaps this school is fine for you.

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.
