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 Best school my children have ever been to. The entire staff is amazing. I have not one complaint. Close Quote

Open Quote If you can, go ANYWHERE else than George M. Null Elementary school. While the teachers are great, the administration, specifically the principal, ruins the experience for everyone. If the principal is talking, then you know that she is lying. It's that simple. The principal is completely unable to tell the truth and what's worse is that she is so delusional that she believes that lies she tells. Again, if you can, do not go to this school. The facilities are sub-par and the curriculum disorganiztion leaves a lot to be desired. The school, on the principal's lead/orders, does not follow the standard approved curriculum of the City of St. Charles School District. 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.
