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 Well not dead last! That should count for something. There's still a distance to go. Check back next year. It's on a downward spiral and the bottom ain't far! Could make it down there by next year. Close Quote

Open Quote The ratings for all the schools in this district are very low. Talented dedicated teachers can not compensate for a lousy district administration that went after every Inner city program possible to get the funding associated with failing schools. They essentially got paid to institute really terrible academic programs. That is true for the lower grades. They boast the IB program but fail to disclose the test scores earned by the kids. AP test scores tend to be 0, 1, 2and the kids do not do well in the IB tests either. The curriculum is not geared towards "teaching to the test" or learning either. 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.
