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 feel its a very good school, but there exception to everything over crowed classes, after school program, and in addition to summer program they should have these program for the kids. I also notice that sudden student get special attention base on what they do for the school by their parents, which is not fare for those that have to work for living they don't have the time to bake cakes and attend trips because they have to support their family. A the perfect example is when their's a concert for the kids and the its starts at 7PM how could the first ten rolls of chair be full before the show starts. Another problem I have after school program if they were they to help with homework how come when I check my son work its not corrected and completed. I know as a parent you should check it. However it was a great idea about having the kids drop off and pick up in the lot but why is they cars pulling in and out of that while kids are running around. It doesn't make any sence if they cars coming in and out of the lo. Come on now these are teacher and parents showing off they cars I dont care about you car they shoud care about the kids saftey 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.
