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 Attention to all loving and caring parents or guardians:

UASCJ does not embrace a theme of criminal justice nor does it allow our children to transition into adulthood. There are no criminal justice courses, no yoga classes and no after school programs such as junior Iron Chef or jewlery making. What you will see is an unorganized and distributive display of nonsense. The children spend most of their time in the hallways rather than in the classroom. However my main concern is the core values and mission statements described within the UASCJ website. My daughter has attended this school for two years and the statements are false. The unprofessional and irresponsible manner of the principle, Mareila Grahman is the main reason I have elected to transfer my child to another school. As long as she withholds her position as principle, your child will remain unsafe from bullying and harassment. Principle Graham does not completely commit herself to provide a safe, secure and comfortable learning environment for your child. If you strive for progressive and academic excellence for your child than think twice before allowing them to attend UASCJ. Just ask any mother outside the school.

Sincerely a concerned Mom 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.
