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 We are ending our 4th year at our Neighborhood school, Indian Springs. My son's teachers have been nurturing, supportive and involved. The community feel is tight at this school and the parents and PTA help one another out and create amazing school memories. Our son has been on multiple sport teams with others IS kids. There is a great CCS latch key program and walkable before/after school program at nearby Maple Grove Church run through the CrC. I have had to talk to Ms. Adams once about an issue in my sons classroom. She was understanding and immediately responsive and through about dealing with it. The school is about 400 kids total with the littles (K-1) on the first floor and the rest on the second. It's a smaller school compared to the other two CCS schools in Clintonvile and that is a bonus. I've loved getting to know everyone at the school and then in the community. Please don't miss out on the opportunity to send your child to Indian Springs. 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.
