Everything with this school is great. Teachers take interest in their students and are very effective with their teaching methods. My son and I loved it here. Close Quote

This school caters to gifted students. The emphasis is on FCAT and anything that contributes to higher scores is what is emphasized.Teachers are very concerned about how their class ranks and appears, rather than individual issues with regard to the child. If your child does not fit into this "box" then the school does NOTHING for your child. Any services your child needs will be cast aside while they tell you they are doing "monitoring". This monitoring does not result in anything except your child falling further and further behind. Administration is very tuned into "high status" parents and what you do for your livelihood. Wolves in sheep clothing is a term that applies to the admin staff at this school. Do not place your child here if not gifted. 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.
