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 They implemented all of these covid measures and went with these digital solutions but failed to test and request improvements from the company to better the system. Ie football was canceled due to rain, before the game started, we were not refunded money nor given a ticket to rescheduled game, if they were rescheduling the game. They use the same for all events the system is broken and they refuse to address the issue. They informed we could address the website but the SCHOOL HAS TO DO IT not parents. It also seems that the digital website for the school is in the same boat it can't find my child but a teacher has sent me a message through the system that can not find my child. There are bugs with it and they are not addressing the issue. So Yes the ranking and the test they receive I can see why they are what they are, It because of lack of leadership from the principles and the county and no way to make formal complaints at those individuals, You always have to write the state level or address it at govenors office.

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.
