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 retired after 2020-2021 school year. I taught middle school science for the last 3 school years, mostly 8th grade science, but also Biology to 8th graders (they took the HS EOC test) Physical Science to 7th graders, (they took the HS EOC test), and electives to 6th, 7th, and 8th graders (combined). Last year I taught all the 8th grade students 8th grade science who then took the 8th grade Science EOG test. Inspite of COVID they all were amazing. Their test scores were the best ever and the two years prior those test scores did not leave much room to score higher, and yet they did. Test scores aren't the end-all but they are an indicator of much and to end my career, that started in 1997, with these TMSA middle school students excelling as they did, well, I could not ask for more. Kudos to all the teachers who taught these 8th graders from K up through 5th, 6th, and 7th grade before they came to me. You were also a big part of their success in this COVID school year of 2020-2021. 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.
