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 This school is wonderful! We bought our home in the neighborhood last summer and were excited to send our son to Northlake. He started Kindergarten this year and has had a wonderful experience. The new principal at this school has turned it around and the staff and teachers are amazing! Close Quote

Open Quote Very disappointed in this school. Our student's teacher is overwhelmed and unable to spend time teaching as she is constantly dealing with the unruly students. The learning expectations are very low. Parent involvement is non-existent unless you want to work with a very disorganized PTA. Horrible experience here! I agree with the previous post: DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!! (unless you are looking for a daycare and not a learning establishment!) Close Quote

Open Quote The "leadership" at Northlake Elementary is weak. There are no school-wide paramenters governing student expectations, nor are there any systems in place to encourage over-all success of students' behaviors. Teachers appear overwhelmed and under-supported. I work here, and I hate that I got myself involved in this situation. Don't send your children here. 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.
