Open Quote I have had my experiences with schools however, this school does not know how to work with children with trauma and IEP issues. Instead of working with children to help them adapt to their surroundings they have not been adequately working to helping my child succeed in success. I will be informing the school board of discrimination from not only a IEP student but also with taking extreme measures to implement an unapproved child. It’s extremely sad to have to give an overview of a school such bad score however, I would not recommend this school. My child has not had any school to take extreme measures to help a child create issues. Moreover, I’ve never had a school to call weekly about behavior in which children need to learn from. Instead they have created a host of dramas and reports. 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.
