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. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

If you're looking to move to the area, beware. The O'Fallon school District 90 has doubled the registration fees for 2014 to 180.00 for K-5 and 200.00 for 6-8 without having any sports/extracurriculars, technology, art, band, etc (cut this year due to budget). There is a "self funded" program for sports... 300.00 for baseball, 360.00 for basketball, 275.00 for cheerleading, etc. The new band program is 125.00 per semester for fifth grade band and 150.00 per semester for sixth through eighth grade band. So, my 12 year old that plays ball and participates in band requires 1160.00 to start school. Not including fees for pt gear, lunches, trips, etc. Just to start. But, I have 3 kids... over 3000.00 to start school. And, the education/instruction has not been what I thought it would be. Definitely not worth the dollars required. They have cut staffing, increased class sizes and now want more money. Not a good combination. There are a few really great teachers, but a lot appear to be "disgruntled employees" (maybe rightfully so). 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.
