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 Great indoor pool and so many other features of the building itself and the students are kind-hearted. It supports a wide variety of cultures and ethnicitys through their many clubs. It holds a high ratio of other religions, cultures, and nationalites. There are many ways to support the school and the students really exceed their responsibility and go out of their way to ensure a friendly yet competitive environment for the students to build of their peer's experience and knowledge. The school offers many ways to learn your responsibility as a citizen. They also perpare the kids for creative and technical challenges in their futures. Their financial literacy offers a look at financial opportunities whilst their art classes such as calligraphy and ceramics allow the students to express themselves and learn to build their critical thinking. The school has recently integrated the PTLW coding program which gives the kids an in-depth look at coding essentials and possibility of jobs in the field. Anyway it's a great school and I recommend it. 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.
