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 I am as foundation parent. My son was in the 1st graduation class. EBCS ranked #1 in the State with test scores in English & Math for the years we were there. Our were in the 90's and high 80's. So to see these scores, I am disappointed. I hope there will be a significant improvement next year. All the best! Close Quote

Open Quote School has gone downhill since 2010. The administration is clueless and the school is run like a prison. No significant enrichment or extracurricular just basically a very stringent drill and kill philosophy permeates the school. The school environment has also declined over the last 5 years. Dismissal is a zoo and the teachers have devolved to all day yelling and belittling of students. With new administration they may be able to turn the ship around but I'm no longer willing to have my child serve as a Guinea pig until they figure it out. 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.
