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 really like this school. There are a few things I would change but overall it's a nice school with a friendly upbeat staff. Most of the teachers that we have dealt with have hearts of gold and absolutely love children, My child is very advanced and I have been pleased to see that they notice and make changes so that she can continue learning so that she is not sitting bored in class. Way to go Rockford! Close Quote

Open Quote Test scores decline every year from the previous. Incompetent staff which practices legal talk and avoids rather than answer simple questions involving your child. The Faculty is arrogant and will make inappropriate insinuations towards parents. The Buss driver for our child is argumentative and has been witnessed speeding driving erratic [enough to rip off the muffler to his buss] And from the note we received also illiterate. Avoid any dealing with this school if you can. 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.
