My daughter has been the target of several racial slurs from other students and the Vice Principal told her there was nothing she could do. My daughter defended herself against a Caucasian female student who continually harassed her and threatened her but the school only suspended my daughter and 50 minority students who created a circle around the fight. The Caucasian female was not reprimanded at all. The school is racist and treats Caucasian students like Gods. Close Quote

The small school environment lets the teachers and administration know everyone. Very positive communication with the teachers who spend their own lunch time giving extra tutoring when asked. 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.
