Open Quote We have had to deal with another elementary school in this county, and I can't praise Mission Road Elementary enough! Not only does my 4th grader actually enjoy school, but my Kindergartner is thriving.

The teachers genuinely care about the students best interests, and do not believe in a 'one size fits all' classroom. The teachers actually communicate with the parents, not only through the mandatory Parent-Teacher Conference but through email, phone call, hallway chats. They know their students, and have great ideas for continuing to help them at home.

After attending another public school, my oldest was homeschooled for two years. He wanted to go back to school, so we applied for out of district attendance to this school, and it was one of the best things we've done. Our youngest wants to attend this school for all of elementary. I am very pleased with our choice in this school. Well done Mission Road! Close Quote

Open Quote Mission Road Elementary School failed my child. He was not learning in this school. I took him out of school to home school him. This school called the Department of Family and Children Services, saying that my child was not on grade level and I was neglecting his education. I have been having to deal with DFCS since removing him from school. I went and had him tested to prove I can teach him, as I have been doing so since halfway through Kindergarten. Right now he is in 2nd grade and on level on everything, and well above grade level on some things. As high as a 5th grade level. I feel that this school does not meet the intellectual needs of advanced students, and when they lose the money they get from enrolled students, they try to force the parents into placing the kids back in their school.

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.
