Open Quote this place is the most corrupt school i have ever been to. the teachers gossip about other students to other students witch is very unprofessional. There was a point in my life where i consulted the counselor discussing my feelings of depression and she sent me back to class and told me to stop being sad. This place deserves less than one star. Nothing is done about bullying here causing many of the new students to just move back. The teachers feel as if they can say anything with no consequences about the students , and sadly they can because the people in power are just the same. This is a warning. I moved schools and can tell a major difference in how im treated and how the teachers are much more professional and i actually got help from the counselor at my new school instead of being told to "go back to class and stop being so sad."

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.
