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.

by a parent
Thursday, December 5, 2019

If you are a single mom, I am so sorry that your kids have to go to this school. In my experience, the school shames single moms that asks for assistance and treats them differently. The principal is, as my daughters and many other parents and children at the school say "scary" She makes rash and poor decisions for the school and parents' concerns.
The events and activities are poorly planned. The morning drop off poorly executed for car riders.
They lost my daughters twice!! Once in 4th grade and once this year in 5th grade. The second time promising my daughter was at the school when she had mistakenly gone home on the bus instead of attending an afterschool activity. Then they yelled at her for it after THEY were the ones that didn't know where she was. The assistant principal said he would take care of this and did NOTHING.
Both my daughters' have been bullied at this school and the teachers did nothing! 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.
