A rising star school. Very happy with my kids education Close Quote

by a parent on FaceBook
Sunday, June 20, 2010

As a mother of a student with Autism I have to say that this school is exceptional. The students have gone out of their way to include my son and make him feel as though he is one of the crowd. They always greet him and help him though his "meltdowns". The teachers have gone above and beyond to help him with out overdoing it. This is an impoverished school system with a public library that is open only 2 days a week. I moved from the city where they helped my son to the point of learned helplessness. This school has pride and determination. Every student is seen as though they can do anything and the world is their oyster. There are a lot of clubs and sports. There are clubs for Christians and clubs for personal character development, there are just to many to mention.
I have seen teachers in the local stores and they always stop to say hello and ask how you and your child are doing. They know your family and your child, your not just another face in a large crowd. Even our bus drivers say hello. If you want your child to grow up included and with a sense of personal and community pride. This is the place. Yes i know it is 10 miles past where you hear the banjo's play. That is why it is uncontaminated and unspoiled and it is still a close knit community with room for more.
But if you want Mayberry with all the love and support, and churches that are abundant with care and good country folks. This is the place. I am glad I moved here to where the roots are strong and the the children are tended by the teachers and community as if they were their own. 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.
