VERY POOR COMMUNICATION WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND BOARD. PRINCIPAL IS RACIST AND NEVER WANTS TO HEAR THE TRUTH(EVEN WITH PROOF).WHAT THE SCHOOL OFFERS IS ONLY FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL ONLY. BULLYING IS A BIG PROBLEM. THEY WENT THRU OVER 20+ STAFF MEMBERS SINCE SCHOOL STARTED BECAUSE THEY WERE TREATED POORLY. THEY CAN NOT HANDEL KIDS WITH SPEICAL NEEDS. THEY DIDNT HAVE A TEACHER FOR ONLINE KIDS FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. THEY BLAME EVERYTHING ON THE PARENTS. 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.
