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 Let me just say that this school isn't as good as it looks. The facilities are great I can give you that but the teachers and staff, no thank you. My child was hurt in no fight very badly, the person who hurt my child got in no trouble, while my child did for "provoking" him. The deans don't seem to pay much attention to larger things such as fights, but only small things like if a student was pinched. They gave the students iPads which is pretty handy and I'm glad they are allowing them to experience the new technology. Well, I shouldn't say "new". They gave out iPad 2ed generation, and they don't work very well. If you break it then you have to take to the help desk, and then they take at least a month to return it to you, then charge a fortune. My child has gotten so many bad grades because they haven't had their iPad to study. Teachers always say everything is on their iPads, and that's why they have NO LOCKERS. That's is bs if you ask me. Everything is on their iPad, that's why their book bags weigh 20 pounds. They have 3 five subject notebooks. The teachers don't even store them for you. That is messed up. The teachers barely even teach the class. They give an assignment, then get on the Mac book airs the school spent so much money on, instead of good iPads for the students. Some parents say the teachers don't get their bonuses if the students don't do well on PASS and MAP. So when that time of year rolls around, they go into hyper drive and shove all the knowledge in the kids head, leaving them stressed and having pressure put on their shoulders to do well. I've complained many times and they still haven't changed anything. I say do it the old fashioned way, or at lease give the kids a good working device to use. Mark my words, don't make your kid suffer like mine, get out if "the swamp" and get in the road to a different school distract! 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.
