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 really love the principal mr. Barnes he is extremely engaged with the students always present for any after-school activities during lunch time and always roaming the hallways during school. I have really enjoyed some of her teachers and not so much some of the other ones it's been about half and half. I think it is unfair that the teachers don't allow them to participate in things such as Valentine's Day or parties they are in elementary school they should be allowed to engage in fun activities such as these. I'm also very unhappy that they do not have buses to this school because it is a madhouse when trying to pick up your children at the end of the day. I do love some of the great after-school activities they do like Lego building competitions and book bingo and movie Nights. My daughter has seem to be top of her class all four years of being here so I know she is soaking in a lot of knowledge. I also wish they would have more Sports programs through the school of the only one they do now is like cross country but I wish they had things such as soccer or baseball through the school. Also I wish they had more dairy-free and gluten-free options when it comes to school lunches I am highly disappointed in the food options for children it seems to be full of sugar and carbs 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.
