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 The communication between school and parent is HORRENDOUS. Communication with teacher’s are non-existent. If you are a working parent – you see your child’s teacher 1 maybe 2 times a year. When they need you to vote on their failing heating and cooling system, you are inundated with emails, texts and recorded voice calls for days. There was a medical lock down that occurred but no communication was provided to parents. You are given a day’s notice as to a “Principal’s Round Table”. The scramble for child care starts because you would like to attend and hear what he has to say – Colangelo has many empty promises on how he is going to be a better communicator. If you are the principal of a school - you should be communicating with parents on a regular basis. When you email Colangelo, there is never a response back. Doesn’t make you feel vested in your child’s school. You are given your child’s test folder at end of month – how can you help your child if there is an issue understanding a test/quiz when you are given that test/quiz a month later. I’ve witnessed teachers verbally berating a second grade boy in their outdoor playground – or as the kids call it – “The Cage” – that is basically a basketball court. Kids are only given 23 minutes to eat lunch and 25 minutes for recess where staffers are too busy on their social media accounts or socializing with one another. Looking forward to next year when my child is in another school. 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.
