OMG!! After relocating to the area my child was sent to this school due to our home address. I Read some reviews saying good this school was ,well big mistake!! The day he was enrolled there was someone being put onto a police car in front of the school! Next the staff were running around like chickens with their heads cut off, no one could give me help or information on my child's classes. The children answer the phones then don't know how to respond properly. MY son was told he needed gym shorts (which by the way I was never informed of) and because he didn't have them was to walk the track. No information given on anything on the first day!! I could see the concern in my child's eyes. I will be waiting til I can fill out a application to enrolled my child somewhere else in the spring time. This was a huge mistake putting him in this school! All I can say to the parents please really do the research. I based my choice by the reviews I read and boy were they wrong!!!! 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.
