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 My son attended with middle school and he grew in the areas of STEM where his love and excitement is. The flexible schedule allowed him to focus on quality learning and not just quantity. Plus he could do sports at the local high school while having a good education that has prepared him for college and life. Close Quote

Open Quote An alternative setting that empowers students to raise the bar on their own learning and go beyond their potential. Caring staff and knowledge teachers who believe in students and are willing to put forth daily endeavors into maintaining a positive relationship, promotes excellence for every responsible student. The non-traditional school settings combines rigorous and quality online learning with face-to-face instruction of highly qualified teachers. The blending setting creates value for every student who is willing and able to put forth his or her individualized best. Students who graduate from RRCA and go on to college or/and a career have shared that they found worth in the time-management and organizational skills they obtained as students at RRCA which propelled them to new heights and provided an advantage over their peers. The holistic student is the focal point of RRCA where it is the goal of the school to maximize continuous improvement for every student. Students who fit into the school are those who want to be engaged and empowered by their own learning, fearless in the face of hard work, and willing to complete coursework at home and at school to capitalize upon the alternative school setting. The inputs of quality education and connecting student relationship with the teacher, the school and the home produces positive outcomes of continuous success. 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.
