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.

Friday, December 22, 2023

My child loves going to school here. Wakes up excited everyday to go. Some of the administrators I’ve dealt with are amazing. Parents are meh. Not everyone’s friendly but that’s the least of my worries. There are several flaws. As a parent, I shouldn’t be the last person alerted of things happening with my child. Especially if they’re being looked at as “essential”. I also encountered a teacher that quite clearly couldn’t handle the class and seemed to have a personal vendetta against my child. They rarely dealt with them directly but had all the opinions and “issues” in the world that I didn’t know about.

The special education services are practically non-existent. It’s “funny” that their website states that 10-15 of their students receive SPED services, yet the provisions are lacking. And that’s certainly an understatement. The inclusivity is not there. Charter or not, it should be illegal how insufficient the Special Ed is here. If you have a child that requires SPED or has an IEP, save your time and go elsewhere. They are unequipped and uneducated on dealing with such circumstances. You will be pawned off to be “someone else’s problem”.

I will be moving to a charter that actually cares for and works with their SPED students. And certainly making some noise upon exiting.

I can’t speak on the upper grades as I don’t intend on my child getting that far at all. But seeing as the school scores high in most proficiency lists for JC, I’d assume the regular education is “of standard”. Sadly, I will not be staying to find out.

I would recommend this school if your child is complacent and needs little to no help. I can’t recommend otherwise. Close Quote

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.
