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 kids transferred mid-year last school year (2022-2023). We are only 1.5 yrs in, but have had a very positive experience so far. The test scores do not seem representative of PVS’s academic caliber because it is more of a liberal arts approach to education (ie: engaging children in the love of learning, supporting children in their own unique strengths, and emphasis on learning for the sake of learning. My kids both enjoy going to school and have learned so much from the multi-faceted approach offered at PVS. For instance, some od their projects have included research, writing, two-dimensional artistic rendering, three dimensional model, school wide presentation with question/answer, and lastly, a speech to their classmates about their project topic. I love watching my kids light up at the varied ways of learning! Close Quote

Open Quote School lacks direction. May not be open for more than 2 more years...they need to relocate and have no money to move. The school seems like it is falling apart this year, do not recommend . Close Quote

Open Quote The reason that this school rates so poorly is that many parents opt their children out of the testing, therefore these diagrams are not at all representative of the learning that is actually happening at this school. We are only in our first year here and are having a wonderful experience. I personally will not opt my son out of the testing because of the funding that benefits the school and the district when children are present for these tests, but I do appreciate (and it was one of the deciding factors in choosing this school) that the Portland Village School does not teach to the test, therefore teachers have more autonomy and room for personal creativity within their classrooms.

Open Quote The standardized test ranking system does not do this school justice. Children at this school are taught to think for themselves and spend a great deal learning in a variety of subjects. As in the Swedish system (which has a very high score for literacy internationally), there is less of a focus on test-focused learning in the early grades. Students, however, graduate with a much broader education and a clear mastery of academic skills upon graduation.

If you are interested in this school, I suggest you visit. You will notice a difference when you walk in and will know whether or not this is the school for you and your family.

Best of luck in your search! 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.
