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.

I absolutely love this school. From my experience the teachers really care about the students’ success here. They are very proactive when it comes to bullying prevention. Teachers and staff are always happy to see the students, especially in the morning during arrival. In my opinion, this is extra important when it comes to setting the tone for the remainder of the day, especially for the little ones. Communication between parents and teachers/staff has been phenomenal. I am also very satisfied with the curriculum. Close Quote

I'm surprised the ratings are so low. It's a K-8 SteEM school that at least four private schools have copied. It also has minimal forced bussing. We love Hilburn! Close Quote

All three of our children have gone here. It has been a really great experience in every way. There are a few subpar teachers, but that can be true for most schools. Overall he teachers, administration, and parents all contribute to make Hilburn one of the best schools in the area. Close Quote

The school offers STEM and Foreign Language to a degree that other schools don't in the area. The staff and teachers are very good, and tend to be younger and enthusiastic. 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.
