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 Bias teachers, cliques, hidden bullying. 1 word from bias teachers can limit the potential of a student. "Ready" vs "Not ready." Close Quote


by a parent
Monday, October 28, 2013

Open Quote IS 289 has excellent facilities, unfortunately, the quality and quantity of learning is low. If one add the fact of how many parents hire tutors and the amount of time their spend with their kids to bring them up to the expected level of their grade. IS 289 is not doing a good job. Analyzing the performance data from 6th to 8th grade it is clear that there is a degradation of learning. Worse how come only 15 students out of 91 took the Integrated regency exam in 2012? There is a lack of coordination among teachers. There is no feedback between teachers and students. The parent Coordinator is invisible (not a single communication from her to parents). Parent - Teacher conference does not exist. It is replaced with family conference: Meet with a coach who has no knowledge of student progress/grade, only what student set goal is. 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.
