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 I have never seen a school that has a principle as focused on student achievement and academic success for any of the schools my children have attended. The teachers at this school are courteous and respectful to parents. The academically focused programs such as math, science, English, reading, social studies are taught by teachers who care about the success of their students and really just do a fantastic job. Additional programs whether art, sports, or music are top notch. First year, orchestra won sweepstakes and competed at levels that involved high schools, taking second overall and 1st in there class. The football team took first place winning the district championship, and as far as art goes, I have never seen such talent in that level of education. I would not want my child to attend any other middle school anywhere. I have two daughters, now in college and have spent years traveling the U.S and the world as military. My children have experience school everywhere from Florida to Japan. Briscoe middle school is the best I have ever encountered. 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.
