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 Although the press and websites make it out to be this perfect school, it is not! The teachers are wonderful and truly care. The administration staff... not so much. There is too much of a dictatorship and way too much pressure put on the students. Opinions are not heard and often forgoten about. My advice, do some research and talk to the MIDDLE SCHOOL students because they see and hear it all. The elementary school part is great but once you get to the middle school level, everyone sees the administrations true colors... Close Quote

Open Quote I dont like the way they favor children and give certain things to them and not others Close Quote

Open Quote I have been at this school for some time now, I and I can personally assure you all that my time at Porter has been an unforgettable one, for all the right reasons. I have served in the Student government, as Secretary, and Class President 3 times, and have been given the opportunity to collect invaluable feedback from the students via the positions and conclude that they agree 100% with me. From a parent standpoint, the view of a school and it's true internal affairs and functions tend to get skewed and clouded. I do know that among parents, the Principal is not the most popular of people, but why is this? I would rather be here than any other school in the county. 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.
