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 Of your child is a star athlete, straight A student then this is the school for you, but if your child has any type of learning disabilities, needs 504 plan, or not the greatest player on the team I would strongly recommend another school if it's an option for you. The teachers could care less about children having different learning styles, or maybe needing a little extra attention... they teach their way and ur your child doesn't get it, well then they are S.O.L. The principal is an absolute joke, as well as the assistant principal. They pick and chooses who they are going to dress code, discipline, or even get too know. Once your child is on their radar, its game over. They will be singled out, punished more harshly, and not protected when bullied from students or staff members. Out of all the teachers/staff members my child has dealt with only one teacher has actually gave a crap about encouraging her and helping her with her learning disabilities. Mr. Detrick has went out of his way too make her feel like an actual human being who has potential in this world. Unfortunately I cant say that for any other teachers it staff members. My child actually had a teacher tell her while during a class discussion about what they wanted too be when they grow up that "school isn't really for you, you would not do well at a university, maybe you could become a hairdresser or something that allows minimal schooling". My child had said her dream is to become a detective or police officer... what kind of teacher intentionally discourages a child from his or her dream. Their job is too build them up and encourage, not make them feel worthless and like their learning disabilities are going too hold them back in life. 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.
