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 This school is horrible honestly, take it from a graduated student. They do nothing about bullying which happens a lot until you're forced to fight in self defense then all of a sudden they "care." Nobody respects the principal, he's a very bad leader. Everything went downhill once he arrived. They hire almost anybody, they hired one substitute for my 7th grade reading class who called us all strippers and said he'd cut our heads off. He got fired but still, why was that guy not in jail? I've met about 4 teachers here that are absolutely amazing leaders but the rest don't care. They hired one woman for science who JUST graduated and had NO experience, nobody knew the EOG material by the end of the year. I knew a student there who was literally 17 years old and in 8th grade, their codes make no sense. They'll yell at you for having on tight jeans but will let people get bullied in the hallway.

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.
