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.

We were enrolled at this school because of the magnet system. It was not our first choice as we were trying to get into one of the better charter schools in the area. We were not alone in this venture as our child ended up in the triple digits on the waiting list for everyone single charter school in the county. Every single one. We were unable to attend the open house, and asked 5 times via email and through phone calls if we could arrange a tour of the campus and an opportunity to meet the teaching staff. The magnet coordinator refused our requests and it was only when we cc'd the principal that we got a response. This could have solved the problem, however, the 'tour' was after hours and two hours after every single teacher had gone home. Not one single member of the instructional staff was there to greet us or answer questions. The principal is clueless on teaching pedagogy and could not address one single question about class material nor teaching principles. Since we felt grossly patronized by the principal's lack of empathy to help us evaluate the school, we withdrew our child and enrolled her at Thales Academy. This school is typical of the 'Woke County' mentality where schools must think they know better than parents. If you can get your child in any other school, for their benefit, then do so. Woke County's public school system is in the toilet and the children are going to be the ones to suffer. 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.
