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.

Open Quote We moved away from this school 4+ years ago. It has a history of poor administration and poor academics. We have a son who is quite bright, we tried to get him some advanced classes or advanced placement. No luck...seems these little schools are so busy with "no child left behind" they are putting all their time and money into helping keep the problem kids caught up with the rest of the classes. There is ZERO time, money, interest for the bright kids.
I spoke with the principal and superintendent about some advanced placement...He said there was no way we could skip grades or get advanced classes BUT they would give him "more responsibilities"
The responsibilities turned out to be letting him change the words on the signs outside and walking the troubled kids to class...You know, the ones who can't be trusted to roam the halls on their own! Exactly the kids you DON'T want your kid around!!
(It was nice seeing the words spelled correctly on the signs for awhile though) 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.
