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 has to be one of the most awful schools i have ever wasted my time in. I have had no educational value whatsoever and had almost every natural born right impeded on. From the first day I walked into that school literately I was approached by a large person who decided to call me a racial slur since I would not give him a piece of gum. Then a couple weeks afterwards I had another incident at lunch where another student asked if I would like to go to the bathroom to fulfill his sexual pleasures. I told the principle. I take that back I told the superintendent and he referred me to not one but three of the principles. Which didnt care whatsoever about my situation. All they did was scold me for running to the superintendent and giving them a bad name. i didnt care I told them "to stop yelling at me and deal with my situation" they ignored and went on. Every single teacher has put no effort into their job. Every-time i asked for assistance I was ignored and told to go back to my seat. I thought this type of school was what was in a Hollywood production about a miserable teenager. However this became an reality. Never go to this school its a living hell. I even called in my parents about the issues here and they ignored them so what does that say about a school? 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.
