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.

Writer of "The Wedding Singer", outstanding drama club, national level athletes, students of every American demographic, State and national level music department, award winning artists, a campus that's not ugly and pretty sexy looking, a war Korean War-hero, social media marketing class, over 9 gyms, egghead scientists going to Harvard, a whole commercial plaza surrounding the school, a whole security department of retired NYPD with Brooklyn accents, famous talent shows, own broadcasting studio and news-like morning announcements via television, so many kids you meet new people everyday, the culinary, music, business, science, art, drama, marine biology, technology, computer science, media, math, day-care, ghetto-kid departments, an Asian math teacher who was fired for selling weed, and so much more! Wow! Close Quote

I'm the parent of a musician and I would want no other school but this one for my child. There is no better school to raise up young, talented musicians. Even though the school is large, the music department takes care of it's students and it is itself a "small school" within the large one. 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.
