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 My daughter enrolled in Kindergarten as an out-of-district placement for the 2012-2013 school year and I could not be more pleased with this school! This school has some amazing teachers and they are very approachable and easy to communicate with. My daughter is just now finishing up her kindergarten year and she is able to read most words, if not, she is able to mostly sound them out, she is able to write most words, if not, able to come very close to their spellings or at least she spells them how they sound when she says them ("samwij" for sandwich) and she can add and subtract! She comes home everyday telling me something that she learned that sometimes even shocks me. I couldn't be more happier with this school! If your child goes here, or you send your child here, you won't be disappointed! I know I don't plan on her leaving this school until it is an absolute must! 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.
