Wednesday, October 4, 2017

We came from Texas were the STEM field is highly valued, and found this great school, who has a comprehensive science and STEM curriculum as well as a teacher of the year facilitating the class. The school is organized, the teachers approachable in person and email, supportive, and the counselors guide students and explore options with parents. This has been a wonderful experience coming from another state. My son likes very much his teachers, the classroom, classmates, and fantastic library. My only concern is the year to year increase on the classrooms, since population in the city is rising. We've had so far a positive 7th grade experience and hoping to continue now in 8th grade.

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.
