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 Lots of turnover not only year to year, but also within the school year, on every level and throughout its support system. Students are labeled, and boys especially are targeted by teachers and staff as "trouble-makers" and difficult, causing undue stress on a child. Seems faculty and staff are constantly scrambling and unable to handle day-to-day functioning, much less to focus on the students, or to understand each student's individual needs due to the volume of students. Assessments are grossly inaccurate, a result of out-of-touch teachers. Too many grievances to list. Food quality is unacceptable, and the children are rushed through an abbreviated, prison-like lunch period. School community is very elitist, but unknowingly (or possibly blissfully unaware) they are merely the status quo. Coppell ISD looks good on paper, and while there are better-rated schools in the district, I would look into other districts or private schools if at all possible. The school is good, if your bar is sitting on the ground. 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.
