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 children have been at this school for two years now and we are probably going to be here for at least another two years. I have had no problems out of this school and I find that the staff, including the principal, are very personable and easy to work with. I have always had my questions answered in a timely manner and I have interviewed the principal as well as a few teachers and I believe their goals of turning this school around will be accomplished in a few years. I personally work with both of my children on a daily basis and they are achieving beyond my expectations. I can thank the teachers for their hard work and dedication to the students. Close Quote

Open Quote My child has been is this school now for 4 years and it is not very impressive. The school has failed statetesting the last few years. Since then they have moved or retire some teachers and principles in the surroundingschools. I am hoping with the new teachers and principle they will start to enforce school code of conduct and work ethic. Alot of the teachers are new or returning for their second year. Some of the one's that have been there for awhile now seem as though they always have something other to do then teach. i do help and work with my child. I do not expect them to be babysitters I do however expect them to be open to meeting and working along side the parents to better the education of the child. It just doesn't seems as the teachers are always willing to do so. 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.
