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 cannot, in good conscience, recommend that anyone send their small children, especially 4 yr old pre-k and 5 yr old kindergarten students to this school. The principal has put such strict drop off, pickup, and visitation policies in place that send a clear message to parents to keep out, while 4 and 5 yr old children are expected to fend for themselves at school pickups, drop-offs, and in-class disruptions, as the school maintains a “what happens at school, stays at school” mentality and parents not lucky enough to be onsite as issues occur are kept in the dark. Even if you are onsite and witness an issue of concern or work to draw attention to your concerns, you will be told "we're working on it" and see no improvements, at best. I’ll elaborate on this in more detail in subsequent reviews… We moved to this community specifically to send our children to this school. We made a mistake. 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.
