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 This schools anti-bullying tactics are assinine. They routinely punish the child being bullied while allowing the aggressor to walk away unscathed. They belittle the parent and blame the student for their own inadaquacies and then fein astonishment when the parent expresses feeling of anger, frustration and disappointment. They punish the child when they dont like the parent and have no concern for the childs welfare or well-being. The educational opportunities are very limited at this school as they are only interested in the developing the special education program for the children with disabilities and provide very limited funding for children who are advanced or gifted. If you have any choice, dont send your child to this school - not if you love them because these people are insensitive, hateful and full of self importance. They forget that they are public servants and that the children are their first priority. Instead they focus on making sure all parents are aware of their power and authority over the children and intent to use that power if the parents aren't properly submissive. 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.
