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 a parent my children have been in this school since kinder and I have never had an issue the school is great and I love that my kids are fluent in both English and Spanish thanks to the curriculum the school uses Close Quote

Open Quote Eugenio Maria de Hostos Charter School in Philadelphia is a caring school where students can feel safe in the inner city. Together, the faculty averages 8-10 years in the field of education and the majority of which possess Master's degrees or multi-certification. Classroom size consists of 12 to 25 students, averaging about 21 per class. The school has continued to make Annual Yearly Progress over the last several years, even though classes are taught in two languages (Spanish and English). This dual-language immersion program is not conducted out of necessity but providing the children with another skill, which will help them meet the need of a nation with a growing Hispanic population. I would not hesitate to send my own children to this school. 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.
