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 kids have been going to this school for 4 years. Different children at different ages. Beautiful school on the outside, and when we moved into our neighborhood, we thought the schools would reflect that.

Not so, the first years, were dealing with a outspoken, self centered principal. Next, they brought in a different prinicpal. While she seemed to be better, she is more focused on disciplining my children, not listening to what they say and defending her teachers to the nth degree, even if they are Absolutely wrong. She has requested grant funds for her purposes in the school from the student parent teacher student organization. Hard earned money by the parents and teachers of the school, and just put in the pool of money she uses for her own school purposes.

There is no incentive to learn and pushing the kids to strive, and it is highly disappointing. Leadership starts at the top and trickles down. What I mean by that is that the teachers Close Quote

Open Quote My son entered this school in kindergarten and is now finishing first grade. He LOVES the staff and teachers and does not want to return to his base school. The education is top-notch and the teachers work very hard to help all children succeed. The office and administration have proven to be very supportive of my child and the family. What a wonderful school! 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.
