The administration is terrible. My child has special needs and the admins care more about sports than academics. The parents care more about how their kids look than the quality of their education. I can totally see why this school DROPPED by 9 places in the last year. They cannot keep a principal. The Booster club cares more about getting a new scoreboard and taking their teams on trips to Washington, DC to get smeared by a far superior football team. They do not care about the development of the CHILD. Close Quote

This school has a beautiful and new campus, however do not be fooled. Many of the teachers are incompetent and treat their job like a hobby. The school needs to offer more Honors courses. Although the school does offer lots of AP Courses, some of the teachers can't even teach their own course. The administrator is extremely poor. Counselors are slow and act like you are an inconvenience to them. This is a problem, especially for Seniors with college applications that need the help of the counselors. 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.
