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 It’s a competitive environment. AP classes are very selective - my son graduated with just 3 AP classes despite of his 91 GPA. Yet, he loves the school due to the many clubs/teams he can join. If he has the same record at another hs, then I don’t think he will receive acceptance letter from NYU, University of Austin, University of Ohio, UCI, Fordam U…A big thank you to Principal Yu for always having the best interest of student well being in his heart (my son rarely hug me, but he hugged Yu at graduation ceremony.)

Open Quote The school seems to have an excellent educational system and it has a vast veriety of sports that the students can take part in Close Quote

Open Quote I believe that the school does not live up to its reputation in any way. The school lacks devoted and capable teachers. Several teachers are known to "make up the class as they go" as several students say. I for one see the school as a normal school that does not deserve its national rank of 31. 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.
