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 is an excellent school EDGEWOOD ELEMENTARY ..... I moved form Cary, NC. I was thinking about about putting my third grader in the Charter School, but before I did I stopped by and visited Edgewood Elementary school. This was a top 10 school in a little rural county. Computer Labs, art teacher, music teacher, P.E. Science Lab teacher, with their own greenhouse , Speech teacher, low student to teacher ratio, smart boards in classroom, nice media center with excellent resources with a full time media teacher that teaches media skills, and a wonderful staff, free tutoring program, along with afternoon clubs etc.... I could keeping listing things. I was very thankful that I stopped by before I enrolled my child in a school that offers all direct instruction programs. You need to visit the schools before you enrolled , don't be fooled about what people are saying, do like I did check it out for yourself. 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.
