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.

If I could rate this school a negative, I would. You will find students using smokeless tobacco in school, spitting on the flooring, posters or carrying their spit bottles with them. Students who do want to learn have a difficult time as other students are disruptive in class, many times backing talking the teacher, wandering around in class and the teacher does nothing. These issues are not isolated either. Go to the school yourself, walking around during the day, you will see kids skipping class, go out for a smoke in the parking lot. You bring these things to the leadership .nothing. This is a typical school lets pass the student and move them own .not my problem then. Test scores have fallen every year for the last 10 years in this school. School moral is awful. No home coming dance. And get this, they have a hall monitor that checks your clothes. If you have a dime size whole in your jeans, off to ISS. You can use tobacco in school and skip classes and smoke in the parking lot, but don t have a small hole in your jeans. If this school does not get a grip on things it is going to continue to its downward spin. 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.
