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.

As many people mentioned the teachers are very nice and kind people. But classes are overfilled. Teachers are not discipline kids and kids are screaming, walking around and going wild during the class time. Not a good environment for learning at all. Teachers are not involved if students need help in their discipline (not staying after school with kids to parse the problem topic, not following up on subject etc). It's a pattern that some teachers are not checking turned in classwork/homework for weeks-months, so you will continue to see "missing assignment". Also in our opinion they are overdoing the pivot to homosexuals' and transgender trends and many kids decided that they are homosexuals' or transgender way more than statistics is supports. Overall, it's a nice school and good teachers, but need to be more focused on education. 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.
