They are pretty good. I just wish that some kids parents stop teaching their kids to be racist. That really makes my child feel they are not welcome in the school.. I wish they get more funding to have more programs for the children and family. I do love how they have literature, math, and movie night for the students and parents. But that nasty pizza needs to go... lol.. They should do a "pot luck" when they do those events, or order chicken and rice & gravy. lol... Close Quote

My daughter is in 1st grade at FACTs and she has been attending since kindergarten. I have been nothing but impressed with FACTs from the very beginning. The teachers and staff are wonderful and it's obvious that they care about the students. My daughter is excited each day to come home and teach me what she's learned. The academic programs are excellent and I love the high value placed on creativity and the arts. 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.
