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 will see how the 7th grade goes. But we have been very pleased in the teachers, assignments and tests while she was in the sixth grade. She loved her Science teacher. Sherri Fischbach was an awesome Science teacher. My daughter had a sleep over with 5 other girls; they all loved Mrs. Fischbach, and loved Science. Homework was never what I felt like just something to keep them busy. Sometimes, I thought it was too much, but it really wasn't.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that seventh grade will go just as well.
I heard the Sherri Fischbach is leaving Farragut Middle School. I really hate to hear that, and I am sure it has to do with the new administration at the school. Farragut got a new principle this year, and I have heard several teachers left Farragut for over schools. 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.
