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 This review is mainly for their panthers preschool program and administrative staff. My daughter attended the preschool program when it was at Crim and I loved it. I was shocked to hear the entire program moved to Adamsville 2 years ago but thought it should be the same as all the teachers are the same. Boy was I wrong. I learned what a difference it makes when you have good supporting and administrative staff. The staff at Adamsville do not communicate with you and very unresponsive. You can never reach anyone even when you have an urgent matter. The nurse is always out of office and doesn’t reply until at least over a week later. And more importantly, they lie about a lot of things. When you can get to someone, they will tell you what you want to hear just to brush the matter off when in reality, they don’t care and aren’t/won’t do anything to address or resolve your issue. My son lost transportation this year and I was told there’s no school bus for everyone in the preschool program. That was a lie as I see preschoolers hop on the buses everyday during pick up. Then I asked again and was told none of the bus service my area. That was also a lie as I see a bus with 2 students on it pass by my street everyday. So when you ask a question they don’t want to answer, they will just ignore you completely.

But to be fair, the teachers in the program are wonderful and they truly care for each and every student. Some teachers will go above and beyond to ensure the well being of the students. My daughter had such great experiences with her teachers (which they are still in Adamsville) that she still talks about how wonderful they are to this day (she is currently in grade 1).

There is no point in wasting your money in this program when you can pay a little more and have longer hours and better than experience elsewhere. The school hours are so short that I literally only have 2 hours in between drop off and pick up. Every day, I just have the urge to pull my son out of the program just to keep my sanity. But the only reasons why I kept my son there is because of the teachers and he loves going to school to play with his classmates. I cannot wait for the school year to be done. 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.
