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 The teachers blame the kids for not learning. My child's teachers have missed a huge amount of days. If teachers don't like what they are told to do they just ignore it. Many teachers even admit to not knowing how to grade student work. Too many teachers are living in the past. Close Quote

Open Quote Supervision is an issue in these classrooms. The school has taken a drastic fall in the state rankings. This has to be due to the administration... I am sure the excuse will be budget cuts. If this were true then all schools would be having issues. Saegertown was at one time a school you could be proud to have your children attend, but now it is a school we are looking to get out of. The lack of care and supervision is dissapointing.

Open Quote The staff is exceptional at meeting students individual needs. They care about each child and communicate with parents to help children do their best. It is a great school. 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.
