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 The principal at this school does not and will not work with parents when there is an issue. Mr. Mcarthy is
awesome working with parents. Teachers put added stress on
students when it comes to testing
and homework. My child worked hard
for A B honor roll all year and
teachers were not very encouraging.
Some of the teachers need to retire if
they do not enjoy teaching and want
to belittle our children. This is
unacceptable behaviour for an adult
of any status much less a teacher
who are supposed to set examples.
The staff knows middle school is a
challenge so why not show more
compassion to the students instead
of making them feel worse! I am
beyond frustrated with the way
things are handled at this school. I as
a parent teach responsibility and
integrity,and to show compassion to
others and not get involved with Bully
drama. Kids are there to learn and
learn to,socilize with others. my child has been through to much drama
and crap and some of the teachers might would see more of they spent time teaching instead of playing in there cell phones or shopping on internet... This is a terrible school and most of the staff 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.
