This school, for lack of a better term, is heck. There are fights weekly, much discrimination (especially against lgbt students) and the school has bad policies. If you get beat up, even if you don't fight back, you will get punished no questions asked. The best thing I can say about this school is that they at least have minor accommodations for mentally disabled people and the teachers try their best to try and teach the students, the majority of which will not pay attention. They really need to work on their help with people that have depression and anxiety because, frankly, a single poster in a busy hallway isn't going to do much. This goes for all schools in the district so, for the love of your child, do not send them here. 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.
