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.

Our child got accepted in the language program and that's the only program we had applied for at this school (we had other options). We accepted this and were looking forward to it as the program fits our family's background. Then in end-June we hear from asst-principal Acevedo that they had taken our child out of the dual language program and put them in the ICT class instead. We emailed Acevedo that that was against our wishes. Never heard back. It was mean-spirited to take a child out a classroom that fits their cultural and ethnic background and shove them like an animal into some other classroom against their parents' wishes. We did not feel our child would be safe or cared for at this school and made alternate plans. We let the school principal and superintendent know, but never heard back either. Maybe no-one at this school knows how to read emails?! Then mid-September we got a call about when the child was coming to school. So disorganized! We told them the child was not going to their school. I wouldn't recommend any child to go to this school unless they change their rude, disorganized and ineffective leadership. 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.
