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 This school is amazing! One of the two things I love the most is the integrated diversity of the school. While the kids come from all over, the socio-economic status of each student does not seem to be a barrier for friendship. The other thing I like is that while they challenge kids academically at a level that even some educators say is too much, the kids eat it up. For all that the courses are so challenging, "a"s abound. Coming back every year seems like a pep rally. There is a feeling of excitement in the air. Close Quote

Open Quote I'm a student in 10th grade at this school, and honestly, from a student's perspective, it's hell on earth for me. 5th grade may seem appealing with lots of fun teachers, but as you get into higher and higher grades, teachers degrade (the administration does nothing but curve grades up when they're bad for a teacher instead of fixing the problem), less exciting activities (I have been on 1, and only 1 field trip off campus for my 3 years at basis), and more AP classes to stress your child beyond belief. I barely eat anything for breakfast because I am so stressed about the day ahead, and I'm not the only one, my peers have reported similar things. Many of my friends stay up past midnight working on homework and end up falling asleep in classes the next day due to exhaustion. 80% of the upper school teachers don't even try to make class fun and exciting. They want kids to have good grades, and that's all they care about. Some of my teachers don't even make us study guides for tests, yet they still blame us for failing the test, they don't even consider that they could possibly doing something wrong. Does the administration care? Not at all. Don't send your child to this school. 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.
