Me and my son love this school. All is about a Disney Cruise and they let the imagination flies around the school. The staff is amazing and super friendly, Mrs. Correa the principal is there every morning receiving her students with love. Also Mrs Ares, Cottegano, Mrs Cruz from after school. All the staff is super cool. Close Quote

I agree with some of the comments about this school. The facility is brand new, the school is up to par with technology, but the quality of the teachers is average or below average. Many of the teachers in this school are still very young and unexperienced, they worry about what they are wearing and not what they need to be teaching their students. Also, they treat the parents as if we don't know what we're talking about and we are less then they are. Security is poor, they ask for ID when you go pick-up your kids when something goes wrong, otherwise, anyone can pick them up. If I could, I would transfer my kids to a different school. I rate this school a "C". 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.
