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'm currently a student at the Mount Washington School. I have been for 9 years. I move on to high school in the fall. These 9 years that I've spent at this school were by far the best. I've made many great friends and even greater memories. I pretty much got all of my education here and it was a good one if I may say so myself. Because of the knowledge that I've gained so far at this school, I maintain an A to B average. Last year, my school was officially considered and IB (International Baccalaureate) School. As well as being a focused learning environment, the school is very creative. I always enjoy the incentives and the field trips that the administration plans for us. There's also a diverse community. I'm going to be sad to leave, but I'm happy that I'll be prepared to face any upcoming academic challenges. #Classof2K19 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.
