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 younger siblings all went through Lovejoy High School and the policies in place are horrible. Yeah, Lovejoy rates among the highest GPAs for their students, but that's because it's impossible to fail. Failed tests can be retested multiple times to get up to 85%, which also replaces failed quizzes. Conceptually, this means that the student has mastered the materials and earned a good grade. In practice, students are shown the correct answers and just fill them in the next time they take the exact same test. That's not learning, that's regurgitating. Then there are no late grades. There never really has been a score deduction for late work, but now it's considered a "behavioral" issue. Students can receive full credit for turning in their work days after its due by attending a tutoring session. Big whoop. In college, and the real world, that kind of behavior will fail you or get you fired. Students at Lovejoy are set up for failure, and only the ones that are self-motivated succeed in college. When your valedictorian starts ripping your grading policies in her speech, you know you're part of something incredibly mediocre. 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.
