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.

It was an excellent school before tablets were added and books were taken away. The children have a hard time remembering what is on a tablet, a book they can reference back to so much easier. Close Quote

I've given 2 stars based on first impressions. I hope they improve. Open house revealed a school that seemed unprepared for the school
year. Schedules for children were not ready, no locks in and other than home room teacher assignment no clear idea who other teachers
would be. Each teacher sent a "syllabus" home outlining rules for classroom. It would seem more advisable that teachers for each grade
would together have a standardized set of rules thus eliminating countless paper and confusion as to what is expected of students in each
class. Each teacher had their own bathroom use rule, one teacher had instructions on runny noses and tissue use, paper cuts and bandages,
use of classroom phone etc etc. Students not allowed use of locker between classes, tho when weighing my child's backpack it weighed 19
pounds. More than a fourth of her body weight. On her first week when she went to place her lunch bag in locker (despite still not having
locks) after lunch, a teacher told her she didn't need to be in locker and she should bring her lunch bag with her to class. I'm not sure what
the purpose of a locker is when access is extremely limited. The school has countless rules. I wasn't sure if we were sending her to
school or to military boot camp. I asked a teacher about specific tutoring programs and was given a non specific answer. These are just
a few of the instances that left me with less than impressed impression of school. It is early yet so maybe things will improve and if they do
I will improve my rating. The proof is in the pudding as they say. I will see how well they teach my child, if they engage her in the learning
process or if it is dry as dust. (One quick observation, while waiting in parking lot at school one day as I arrived early to pick up child, a
class came out to fly paper airplanes for an experiment of sorts. The teacher spent his time on cell phone instead of engaging with students.
Very disappointing. Time will tell. 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.
