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 My son has been at this school for more then 6 mos, the bulling in the school is out of control, and teachers are apart of using bulling to get the children to behave. snapping fingers in students faces but during parent teacher week they are all smiles and taking GREAT about our children. I am in a parent group and we have to pay close attention to our children to make sure they are being treated in a repectful manner. Close Quote

Open Quote The worst school i have ever seen in my entire life! Teachers with bad attitudes. Always calling my cell for a conference about my child. Negative remarks regarding my child learning even tho progress is being made. Harassing phone calls nearly on a daily basis from teachers.I am not a neglect full parent, i go to the conferences and maintain communication with the teacher to just keep getting call after call for nothing important!

Open Quote My children have been attending ACFT since the beginning of the school year. I have been harassed by two members of this school over a reading log. The teachers were not even my child's home room teacher. And when we were fed up with the harassment we called the school, just to hear that the principal wouldn't be there for 2wks!!!! Nor did I receive a call back from the principal regarding the matter at hand. I have received NUMEROUS calls that were rude, and out of line. my child is behind in reading and i am to blame? I send my children to school to learn for nearly 8hrs a day and two days a week they have been going to tutoring. Plus what we practice at home! and it does not seem to be enough. WHAT ARE MY CHILDREN LEARNING DURING SCHOOL HOURS???? A BIT OF HELP AT HOME wouldn't HURT, BUT I DO NOT HAVE 8 HRS A DAY TO TUTOR MY CHILD! what are they paying the teachers to do? surely harassment does not fall in their job description. 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.
