As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population.

When I first walked into Bateman I felt un-welcomed, it was cold, unfriendly, I could not believe the tone of the teachers I met and the lack of respect they had for me as a parent. When I finally met the principal of the school after serval months I realized why the teachers where able to act the way that they did, the principal sets the tone. It is a school that I feel in not the place for children with disability or disorders, they do not have the warm, the understanding, or concern about the over all child's needs. Every child has a voice every child deserve to feel safe, welcomed, happy, and given the same type of education and respect. This school I fill has no ideal no concern about the best interest of a child with special need. They take advantage of the parents who do not understand there right, do not speak the lanuage, that our to busy working to make ends meet, to help them protect there children right to a education that best fits them and there needs. Again it is what I have wittiness when dealing with my child, the thing is that they just don't care... 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.
