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 My daughter and I used to love this school, but the way it has handled reopening during Covid has been an absolute disgrace. Every time the school meets a target for return, the school board and administration simply change the target. 80 of teachers say that they don't want the children back in, the data that says it's safe (for hybrid, masked etc) notwithstanding. They have no interest in the science. But here's the real issue: to add insult to injury, the teachers bring their OWN children into the school to be taught in small groups -- while preventing every other child from coming in. Their children are thriving because they continue to go in, while they vote to keep others out. The hypocrisy and constant lies and ulterior motives (to ensure their own children thrive, but keep others out) are disgusting. They could not care less about the children at their school. I've disenrolled my daughter and know many other parents who plan to disenroll their children. After seeing how the teachers speak about children (that they're dirty little germ-carriers whose families can't be trusted), I would strongly advise other parents to stay away. 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.
