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 DO NOT ENROLL YOUR KIDS HERE!!!
This school is beyond behind! My son has been going here for 2yrs and it’s been the worse 2yrs of MY life! The school is below the academic standard. The teachers are getting younger and younger. His teachers only call me if he’s misbehaving but never call me concerning his grades. Their job is to teach! If he’s misbehaving then it’s your job as a teacher to control the students in your class. If it becomes too much then send him to the office. BUT DONT CALL ME! That’s crazy. The teachers are hella ghetto! I called the front officer to get his teachers email addresses and she doesn’t even have the email addresses. How is it that these teachers work at this school and you dorayn’t have their school email address? The website has old info and is never updated regularly which is frustrating as heck! I’m just over this school all together. He will be withdrawn ASAP! 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.
