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 Our two kids attend Opstad. Great school, with amazing teachers, and just needs to have their facilities updated. Bring on those taxes! :-) Close Quote

Open Quote My two kids are now in Middle School, but both attended Opstad from K thru 5th grade. Between the two kids, I think they had 10 different teachers. There wasn't a 'bad' one in the bunch, and 90% of them were well above average. Every teacher we dealt with seemed to have the best interests of the kids at heart. The school serves a large area, with a diverse socioeconomic population, and they seem to do a good job of covering the range. Close Quote

Open Quote Great teachers and a real community. Best school our two children have attended...better than the private preschools and Montessori kindergarten schools they went to. 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.
