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 I am extremely disappointed in the level of care and concern that some of the staff at Lee Elementary provided to my son's education. He requires modified learning based on how he processes information. This modified learning style does not mean he lacks intelligence. In fact he is quiet gifted. Unfortunately, despite the fact he is very smart this schools lack of care and concern for him, in not only his education but his emotional health, planted the seed of a negative self image in terms of intelligence.

I've never felt so strongly about removing him from an environment were he had peers his own age to socialize with until my experience with Lee Elementary. He was restricted from participating in activities because he could not pass a test within time requirements despite his need for a quiet space with no distractions. They did nothing to help him feel like he could achieve this goal or make the necessary arangements that would help be successful. Instead, they forced him to take this test over and over again while the rest of the class moved on to different lessons. He had to forgo play time with peers so he could once again take a test. I can't think of anything more destructive to a child than the public humiliation he feels in the presence of his peers because he has to take a test over and over again while the other kids get to do as the please in the class room. It is humiliating because his punishment is a public matter.

I have brought his needs to the attention of his teacher and the psychologist but it seemed to slip their mind unless I was directly in front of them and even then it was agree, agree, agree and not follow through. My husband also tried to get involved and called over and over again never to get any of his calls to the counselor/school psychologist returned. Talk about excellence in education, ha! If you are fortunate enough to be able to pay for private school or have enough time to home school your children I would encourage it because though there may be great teachers some where at this school what if they get one that doesn't care? Will they conveniently forget? Will they get frustrated? Can you be confident when you leave your kid(s) in their "capable" hands? If your kid is struggling are they going to tag him as defiant? A trained monkey could have done a better job at least you can get them to answer a phone.

What is clear about Lee Elementary is that you can not depend on them to care about your kids education or emotional health. If you leave your child's education in their hands you're taking a gamble. 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.
