Enrollment down 20 due to underlying issues. CRT training starts very early here in 1st grade. Your kid will not bring anything home
Regarding american revolution founding fathers or abe lincoln or native americans. High turnover with principals and staff. Teachers are bad and only there for a paycheck. Voted to not have homework so kids have no homework but expect themselves to test out. I have never heard of school that doesnt believe homework provides any benefits so the parents hold the job of actually doing the teaching teachers are basically babysitting here trying to do least amount of work as possible. Asians account for the overall high test average. If your kidd is average expect to do all the teaching and 25 drop in enrollment is not due to covid. It is due to fed up parents pulling there kids out to go elsewhere if you think i am making any of this up just ask them about CRT at crabapple. And what papers there kids are bringing home. My review is true of this school 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.
