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 We love our school. Ronald Reagan has a staff that really cares for my children and will go above and beyond to be helpful. The principal called to check on the children as we were moving and wanted to offer any help in registering. When we finally showed up to enroll the kids, the office staff was more than accommodating and the principal took the time to meet with us, give us a tour and tell us about the school. The teachers have been very good at communicating about how our kids are behaving and doing academically. Close Quote

Open Quote Please do NOT send your kids to Ronald Reagan. This school is awful. The staff are very rude. The kids are not supervised like they should be. This is the worst experience we have ever had with a school. Bullying is a big issue in this school. Very much a lack of structure and discipline. Look elsewhere for a better education for your child. 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.
