The school has continuously gone down hill. Some teachers are great while others play videos to teach the class. The school doesn’t communicate with parents. We are told to email if we have a question. No matter the question asked Dunn always responds in a rude condescending tone. The school website is never updated and Facebook is required to know what is going within the school. No matter how many parents voice the communication concern and the growing class sizes they are ignored or rudely responded to. A very promising school that will not last with the current administration. Close Quote

Awful. Unorganized and communication is non-existent. Teachers are not required to be certified. Rude staff. 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.
