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 very good school Close Quote


by a parent
Thursday, March 15, 2018

Open Quote My kids have moved on from this school and one that is still there. Bring my kids there feels like home, my children have the support from teachers and staff. Have an opportunity to switch classrooms like in MS when they get to 4th and 5th grade to prepare them for Middle school which I think is great. Once in 5th grade kids have another option to either take computers or play a strings instrument. If your kids have never played an instrument this is a great way for them to start and learn. The office staff are great, the nurse that is there is great Ms. Johnson. She is an experience nursed, the Principal and Assistant Principal seem to be a great team. It is a Title one school which to my knowledge can impact the schools overall score. But I can only talk about my childs education and they have learned alot, and have experienced alot. The school tries to cater to all ethnic backgrounds by having events, books and some staff to help translate and learn about different diversities. 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.
