Open Quote not very happy with how my granddaughter has been doing since attending this school for some reason she has fell through the cracks and is not getting the help she needs to succeed that need to change . she is a child with a lot on her mind and needs help in certain areas .she is from nc and with her came her school records with her goals and needs. I don't fell like this is being addressed I want to see a change . she is also a child of a deaf mother and has a hard time communicating with her because she has not learned sign language to the point where she can help her . she lived with me for two years and while with me she was doing great the school stepped up and helped me with all her needs. I would like to see this school step up and help her mother so that it don't have a bad affect on this child .thanks 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.
