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 Here at Life Sciences Secondary School there are numerous factors that benefit students presently and in the long run. The teachers of the school are one of the things that stood out to me the most. The teachers actually care about the students. And I am not just talking about accepting late work, I am talking about pushing back due dates and taking time out of their day to help students with numerous problems. Furthermore, the teachers try their best to get to know the students in their classes. To learn about who the student is, what they like to do, and how they like to learn. With that knowledge teachers are able to change and adapt to a teaching style best for the students. Another thing that stood out to me from this school was the internship opportunities. Participating in an internship comes with many benefits. These benefits include but are not limited to: Experience in what your doing at the internship, having records of internships looks good on your resume, and stands out to colleges. In conclusion LSSS is a phenomenal school and I don’t regret coming here. 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.
