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 I have nothing to say because the school I go to now, SHOUT OUT TO DONNIE BICKHAM, is amazing! We just got our award for our second nine week grades and if you get a certificate, they come to classes with a treat trolli, which has all different types of candy. They inform the parents 24/7. Everything is up to date. The teachers are lean back and relaxed. No homework unless, you have incomplete assignments. They may not be a magnet school, but they are amazing! They encourage, speak truth, help, and honor their students. If you want a school like Donnie Bickham, come to Donnie Bickham. If you want a lazy, over-work, harsh, mean, and BORING school, well go and stay at Judson Fundamental "magnet". As a matter of face, Counselor, Katherine Metcalf tried to stop me from going to Donnie Bickham, which by the way, has always been my dream school, DREAM CRUSHER! THIS IS A MAGNET SCHOOL, AND YET THEY STILL FAIL TO SUCCED. DBMS (Donnie Bickham Middle School) stands for D-Demonstrate Responsibility, B-Be on Task, M-Make Good Choices, and S-Show Respect. JUDSON CAN"T AND WON"T EVER BE THOSE THINGS. THEY WILL NEVER BE LIKE DBMS. AND THEY WILL NEVER BE A TRUE MAGNET 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.
