We love this school. Such positive energy and caring staff. So happy the children are going to this school Close Quote

Like any school, this school has its positives and it's negatives. Your child will either get a dynamite teacher who has the energy and desire to help their students succeed or he/she will get one of the teachers who are burnt out and should really consider retirement. For the most part the school seems to have decent teachers. The principal is a mixture of good and bad. I've never had an issue with her, however some parents aren't too pleased with her. My experience so far has been ok. My son seems to love the school and I've yet to experience any problems. 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.
