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 There is no sport program at this school! They can't win a game plus they have no Football just Basketball. There Coaches in this school are not very Athletic orientated.
There is no Music program in this school...The band holds about fifteen students, with this many students they should all play on key...Not True the worse music program that I have seen in a school..
Academic are fair. Most of these students are not as prepared for college as they should be..Their Academic have them ready for a Community College but not a University.. With meeting students from this School, most of them just continue on at the local Community College, after dropping out of the University.
Academically if they built their Athletic Department, and their Music Department. There Staff would see this would help their Academic greatly..And their funding for these programs would increase for more upgraded equipment.
By equipment I mean for all three departments.. They have missed the boat on the whole great picture..It can't be because of their size.. There are other schools that are that small, and have better programs. 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.
