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 We have had 3 kids so far go through this middle school and every single time we have problems. My wife and I have tried on several occasions to sit down and speak with not only the teachers, but the principal and have been ignored or left waiting for over an hour or more and then left in frustration. We have not had ANY issues from the elementary school OR the high school in the area and in fact they have been superb. So I know it's not an issue with our kids. If it were, we would be having issues not matter what school our kids are in...not at all the case. This school is horrible. I am considering pulling my middle school aged child out just to home school her for a few years until she reaches high school to avoid having to deal with the moronic administration any longer. Do yourself a favor and if you have a choice...stay away. Close Quote

Open Quote DO NOT GO HERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This school is freakishly OVERCROWDED, in the end of lunch there are still atleast 50-60 students waiting to eat, many buses have 3 to a seat, one place that had 3 buses last year got 1 bus this year plus it went to another apartment too everyone told me it was so overcrowded but the school did not have much money! the buses and are very old and are like a moving oven inside it, most teachers are rude and super aggressive only a small handful of teachers are nice, the grade level principal are mostly insane only one is OK, the seats here are so uncomfortable!!! you cant move them and I swear my back is THROBBING when the bell rings, the school principal is friendly but you do not get to see him much :( , the school is diverse with many Pakistanis, Indians, Chinese, Vietnam , etc..., most are immigrants whose parents are struggling to provide their students with good education but this is not the place and many kids dont know how to speak or write in their native tongue!!! Many kids pick on people they dont know for no reason, (including me) and I was very depressed, and many kids are aggressive, and rude. this school is so overcrowded that the teachers are dragging in old flimsy desks to be able to have enough tables, the schools bathroom stalls lean over so much that you cant close the door and it practically breaks my back trying to push it back up for some privacy :( the school building has little style and is bland and negative feeling, the nurse is cranky and dont get me started with the front office, they refuse to notify you if someone drops something off for a student!! The school is poor that you have little technology to learn more easily, they give you alot of homework and the teacher only sees if you filled your paper, many of the desks here have broken baskets underneath your chair so pray no one kicks your stuff, I SWEAR THIS SCHOOL IS NOT GOOD, DO NOT COME HERE, I AM WARNING YOU THE SCHOOL IS NOT GOOD LIKE IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO, IT IS NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
