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 Bad behavior in every grade even the kindergarteners, teachers do nothing to stop this and let it slide, vandalism, profanity, VAPING, etc. The kids dont know what respect is and treat the bus drivers/teachers awfully. I do NOT recommend letting your child come to this school. Close Quote

Open Quote I gave it two stars simply because the principal and school counselor where so nice. I don't really know how they measure up compared to other schools here but our experience was horrendous. Rather than working with our child and accommodating some special needs, the teacher let it spiral out of control, letting the frustration build to a point were she simply labeled our child incorrigible. I was working with my child every day for hours, trying to teach and explain the lessons so that the homework could be completed. This was not being done at school, it seemed that the information was presented but no real "teaching" came after that. In addition, all of the things we used and techniques we used to cope with stress, achieve focus, and prevent sensory overload, were taken away. We were told those are all just excuses. I tried numerous times via e-mail to work with the teacher and come up with a plan. We were just told that, (our child), was "expected to do this level of work" and that, (our child), needed to try harder to focus. We had two substitute teachers who did a wonderful job and actually helped explain and teach the lessons and our child responded very well to this, so we know it can be done, just as we had seen when our child attended school in a different country. Another thing that was unacceptable was that more often than not, they were late getting to the lunch room and by the time they could sit down and eat, they only had a few minutes. Many children are not given enough time to finish lunch without stuffing it all into their mouths at once. I would ask over and over again, "Why is most of your lunch still in the box." and the same answer was given. Our child was famished by the time we arrived home after school. We pulled our child out of this school and even now, after we are gone, our child sees friends from the class and they have said, "We asked Mrs. (our child's teacher) why she was so mean to you and she told us that you were lazy." Hearing this was devastating to our child. This experience has left our child feeling like a failure and having very low self esteem. We have had to work very hard to undo the damage that was done by this teacher. We felt that it was not a healthy environment either physically or mentally for our child. There is much more to this story but I will spare the details. Here is an article this school as well as others might consider:

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.
