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 THE KERR PEASANTRY IS NOWHERE NEAR AS MAGNIFICENT AS THE REALM ROYALTY! Close Quote

Open Quote They only care about test scores. The kids are crushed by the principal getting rid of the best teachers in the school. I guess they didn't teach to the test, but they made my son and daughter happy for school. Shame on this school! Close Quote

Open Quote I have a child that will be in 7th grade this year. This is our second year at Kerr. I was aprehensive at first sending my child to Kerr. The rumor was they were not very "family friendly". Boy was I wrong. Kerr has a new principal whose goal is to reach out to parents and keep them in the loop. He is all over the school, and my child really likes him. Some of the teachers I was concerned about have left. I hope we have gotten some good ones to replace them!!!! 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.
