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.

Over all there is still a sense of community here, if you come from a school that does not volunteer or get involved you will here! Its infectious! There many activities available like once a month movie night, or our Festival of lights show, or our Harvest festival and so on. This school is small and if you become involved chances are you will meet many other great families and staff. After a while most school staff members know you and your child or children on a first name basis. Like other schools there are things this school's leadership needs to take into account. Every child learns at their own pace. They the (Schoo)l will provide help but not above and beyond. Many parents in the past have come across a wall when their child may need a little more help than the next guy. When school officials don't want to take suggestions or work together beyond the typical meeting problems will occur. In my experience some parents have left Ampark because of this. Don't get me wrong its not the worse school there are many other schools that wouldn't even hear what a parent has to say, however if are to prove that we exceptional and different compared to others we must first try to rise above pride.

Poor leadership. Principal arrives late, leaves early. More concerned with getting to Silver Bay where she works(see ad she posted on school's website) for 3-day weekend than with being a school administrator. If your child struggles in any area do not send her or him to AmPark. Your child will not get any support. 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.
