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 Our 4yo KG student son as many boys can have their good and bad days but apparently he always has a bad day here, what I mean is hes ALWAYS sent to the wall (as punishment) he's NEVER recognized his accomplishments and apparently even pushed away and ignored by his main teacher whom I've come to learn through other parents comments she has a "cold" way of treating many of the kids in her class, needless to say my wife and I tried to approach his teacher, as we came towards her when kids are coming out of school she noticed and preferred to walk away, it was totally noticeable she knew and we asked how our son's day had been, she basically just ignored us. (i made the click of how students feel ignored and pushed by her) The reason I write this in here, If I go to the Principal, the teacher will always be right, if I say about the teacher ignoring us incident....she's going to claim she didn't hear us or any other excuse. I know we are not the only parents frustrated with this teacher and Ill try to get others to come forward here and or take the appropriate and proper actions to have this addressed. Close Quote

Open Quote In this review, I will point out what is bothering me the most: "the incident management" at this school specifically for preschoolers. Teachers are in denial when it comes to incidents among children (biting, hitting, pushing). Every time we know about an incident occurring to our son such as his friend biting him, the teachers deny it and say it never occurred even after showing them bite marks, they say that they cannot tell that those are bite marks. Most probably, they are denying because they cannot find a reason for not informing parents about those incidents. They prefer to ignore instead of taking action. What is funny is that after we inform them about those incidents, they tell us the second day or week that our son hit or pushed another 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.
