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 My oldest child started here in Kindergarten and had no issues initially. In the older kid classes there are some disciplinary issues and the teachers can't handle it. One of my son's teachers told the class that she'd rather work at the prison again than teach them. She also told them they were all destined for prison. I looked into her background and found out she doesn't even have a teaching license, nor do charter schools require them. I chose this school as an alternative to West Broad Elementary like many other parents but it's gone so downhill its insane. My daughter in kindergarten told me her teacher smoked inside the building. Another child in her class also showed kids his penis and the child was removed from class but parents were not notified that this occurred. My son injured his foot in basketball at 9AM and no one called me to get him until 2PM. A teacher also accused my son of stealing pencils, and told another child my child would steal his pencil if he left it out. She later admitted to me that she was mistaken. I have always dropped off extra supplies and pencils. My child has never been in trouble once in school but was repeatedly talked to like this by teachers. If you are a parent looking for a better alternative than CPS for your child, look into the EdChoice scholarship program and send your kid to private school through them. They do have certain teachers who are amazing but unfortunately there are also many awful ones. 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.
