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 teachers at this school are truely amazing. they go above and beyond to curb towards every child individual skills. A lot of other schools seem to focus more on the children who are struggling ( They gotta bring up those test scores)while the children who are excelling tend to become board. That was not my experience here at all. My oldest two children tested way beyond average for their grade level but their teachers rose to the challenge and gave more advanced work to them to keep them motivated and on task. My youngest struggled a bit at first with his math but his teacher refused to allow him to fall behind. He has extra homework- to keep him on par with the other students. WE LOVE THIS SCHOOL. FYI-- For incoming 1st graders, I strongly recommend Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Tucker. They are both amazing. 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.
