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 I have been a parent of Taylors elementary for the past 7 Years. While I originally thought this school was the best school to send my children to, I finally can disagree. I have watched the desire for student success dwindle as the Hunger for school recognition and awards increased. They are very happy and show off when they win. But are our children's future at risk because of it? The fences outside the playground are filled with advertisements from "funding partners". Showing us that our children are now up for sale. Upon entering the "no tolerance bullying" grounds, I can say that all of my Taylors children were bullied throughout their time there. The teachers remind you how test scores are imperative and treat the impact this has on students as a home issue. It is increasingly difficult to talk with administration, and the new assistant principal has no problem raising her voice to parents in front of students. Regardless of many attempts to work with administration and the county superintendent, it's becoming more and more obvious that my children would be better served by a less "decorated" education facility. Seeing the confidence gained by young relatives attending other schools (and ultimately a better overall attitude towards education) it's obvious Taylors has fallen short on long term student success. I have a child who has since advanced to middle school. The compassion for humanity and education has brought her hopefulness for the education system back. A lesson she did not learn at Taylors where she felt obligated to do well so that her school could get recognition. I would urge the faculty and staff to remember that they are centered in an ever growing lower income community and are putting these already at risk students at further risk of overall failure. With a 55 rate of students eligible for free lunch, I would imagine this should be obvious. Attendance is seen as a contest VS an clear flaw in the system. The attendance clerk makes children feel belittled. The school lunches are not community conscious. And many children opt to not eat lunch at all with the given choices. Parents are treated as if they are uneducated and incapable of making appropiate decisions for their child's future. And decide early on in the school year whether a child will pass or fail. Parents are constantly pressured to provide the school with funding for meaningless things. A new playground but what about extra tutors and mentors? I am beyond dissapointed in this school and plan to remove my current from this sinking ship before they lose faith in the education system altogether. 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.
