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.

All 4 of my children graduated from this school and I'm proud to now have my granddaughter starting in September. She will be able to experience an excellent school environment like her dad. Mr. Pantelidis is an excellent Principal. He is constantly finding ways to better the classrooms, learning experiences, communication with teachers as well as finding new programs to implement. Every time he applies for funding to update or add to the labs and classrooms he gets it. The grades of all students speak for themselves. And he never stops. When one project is done and approved he is already working on the next. I just want to say thank you Mr. Pantelidis for all that you have done and continue to do. Thank you for not stopping the care and interest once the kids graduate. He continues to keep up with the success and journeys of these kids well into Adulthood. This is the great care and interest he has in our kids and our future!! I wish every school had a Principal who cares as much as you do. THANK YOU! Close Quote

Main staff speak words and do nothing correctly to help children having issues. they want to sweep it under the rug so that NO one messes with the schools score. I hope I can convince at least one person about this school becasue i do not want another child to go through what we went through with bullying.The principle tells lies to other admins, in my case he denyed that my child got kicked and punched at school even though medical records show otherwise. They are more focused on students that score well so they can get the grant money. 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.
