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.

As a parent I found this school to be a huge disappointment. Incompetent and lazy teachers and guidance staff, except for a select few decent teachers this school is more concerned with reaching quota and politics than actually helping students succeed. The current principal being useless and dismissive. Be cautious with the 'special education' label that they push. Only a small select group of students actually get the help promised. They talk a good game and will promise you the world but in the end they will take the absolute easiest and laziest way around things to the point of actually doing nothing at all to help your child yet still receiving the government grants for their "special education" program. In other words, fraud. Their specialty is bragging on the achievements of already naturally high achieving students and taking credit whilst leaving all others to flounder and struggle. I found this to be an oppressive like atmosphere with the majority of teachers being lazy and devoid of any real teaching ability. So happy to be done with this place.

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.
