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.

Most classes have well over 20 students, so I don't know where this site is getting the student/teacher ratio from. Maybe they're counting the substitute teachers not on duty.

No time to help new students accelerate to the level of other students who have already been in the academically advanced, but inhumane system. Nasty teacher attitudes. No response from principal when concerns are expressed by parents. Complaints about teacher behavior are ignored, even when brought to the district and state levels. They're "untouchable" because they're so perfect on the outside.

The kicker is, they'll claim they do everything they can to help a student, but backpedal when their bluff is called. In truth, they procrastinate when it comes to students with learning needs, then blame the parent. Will use student diagnoses to explain why it's the child's fault they're treated the way they are by faculty. 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.
