Sunday, June 15, 2014

As a student here at OCSA, I'm going tell you that this is probably the best school I have ever been to in my life, first of all, any art area in particular, at OCSA you will learn everything and I mean "EVERYTHING" with different types of techniques that will increase your love and passion for any art major here at OCSA like Band, Orchestra, Dance, Vocal, Drama, Visual Arts, Creative Writing, and Technical Theater. I as a Band major I am kind of out of school a lot due to All-County, Jazz. But if you love your art area here, then you will have a blast(especially color wars). 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.
