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 I am a student, I would like to tell you so you may be warned about to expect. First thing I have to say is the teachers. Some teachers are nice and some are rude. One teacher stereotyped me saying I was not going to do well this was just based on my color of my skin but I got a high grade. Even when they say not homework there is. Too much even on holidays. Also it is too long not easy and takes too long and only sometimes show on google classroom. It sad to say that there is still bullying. I have been bullied and kids brought in pepper spray but no action was taken. What if someone could have gotten hurt. Also theft is unfortunately common, just in one year alone, my lock, lunchbox, water bottle and lunch money stolen. Jackets get taken too. Stay on guard and watch out for weird behavior, if you are coming here, be careful. 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.
