Not the worst, but far from the best.

IB and honors programs are decent; too bad there isn't enough room for all the eligible kids that want to participate in advanced studies. Instead, the mid-year transfer and new students are placed in classes with kids who have no interest in learning. Thanks Florida voters!!! You did a great thing....It is obviously soooo much better to put 5 bright kids in with 15 below average kids and force them to follow lessons aimed at the lowest common denominator rather than allow 30 children with a true passion for learning in an "overcrowded" classroom.

RIDICULOUS! 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.
