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 The school is only good because we get to take classes at the local community college. The people who run the school are AWFUL. They are rude and sarcastic. You are expected to read their mind. It was better earlier this year when we had a regular teacher and principal at our school. They were nice and treated us with respect, but for "budget reasons" they got rid of both of them. (Of course they hired another person and gave two other people raises.) Now the morale at the school is horrible...no one likes being treated like they're stupid. Close Quote

Open Quote This school has a active investigation from the U.S. Department of Education Officer of Civil Rights for over 6 allegations for failing to abide by the Federal Laws regarding disabilities, accommodations and 4 plus counts of retaliation. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL THERE ARE MORE OPTIONS THAT ARE OPEN, AND SCHOOLS WITHIN THE STATE THAT ABIDE BY THE LAWS. 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.
