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 Great School. Close Quote


by a parent
Saturday, November 15, 2014

Open Quote The school does have a lot of opportunity and many teachers are good. But, if you can keep your child from attending 3rd grade here it would be best. These teachers seem to rush very quickly through topics without understanding that these are 8-10 year olds not college students. There seems to be too much homework in some classes and not enough information is sent home to allow parents to help their children understand their homework assignments.

Only 3 students were on the all "A" honor roll and maybe 30-40 were on "A-B" honor roll. I have never seen this in any other grade and I have had more than one child come through this school. It is disappointing that a school with such potential could allow this to happen at a very critical time in the education of a child. 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.
