The School Sucks!!! Beware, They are not for the students, Teachers don't last, Every Year there are new teachers.The Teachers
dont follow up when you contact them, It's like pulling needles out of a hack stack to get them to respond back to you.You only hear from them when they have a problem with my child. They don't get to the root of the problem, They are lazy and just throw the book. The prinicipals are always lacking in there communication area and dont take time to handle situations in a timely manner. They are lazy teachers, staff and personnel and nobody knows anything when asked questions. They barely teach and complain to the students about everything. This school is horrible along with the principals Close Quote

After all these years this school stil sucks, my oldest son is now 22 and I had problems with the school then, and now that my 12 year old is attending its even worst. The teachers dont follow up when you contact them, I only hear from them when they have a problem with my child. The prinicipals are lacking in the communication area and dont take time to handle other situations in a timely manner. I am a very disappointed parent and wish we could vote for our teaching staff and office administrators. 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.
