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 they have started the school in the new building this year without even knowing proper procedures of dismissing students at the car lane. the school policy is they leave the fifth graders at 3.40 whereas hold onto the kindergartners till 4.15 while the school closes at 3.45 pm. the lane extends all the way to the road but they will not even start dismissing the kindergarten kids. as a parent when I asked the car lane teacher why they are doing it, the answer I got is if you cannot wait then keep your kids in extended day care or on the bus. we know what to do, teachers do not need to tell us. we expect them to be respectful of parents. I wonder how they treat our kids inside. Close Quote

Open Quote When my daughter transferred to EBE, she was behind nearly a year in reading and math. Now, she is on grade level or advanced across subjects and on the honor roll. We can't say enough good things about the teachers, administration, and staff. 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.
