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 During a basketball game, the teachers and faculty were caught on camera calling an opposing player the N word. The person recording them was escorted out by an armed security guard. Close Quote


by a student
Tuesday, January 15, 2019

Open Quote The power hungry administration in this school is horribly selfish. The rules in the school are not based on what is actually necessary for the students but what the admin feels like enforcing. The powers from above make the teachers job so difficult with the treatment and regulations they push on them that it increasingly reflects on the students. Rather than actually talking about the problem if something is reported they take the situation one sided and play petty games... The school should honestly completely redo the board of Ed and the admin because this school has taught me nothing but what a jail would be like. 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.
