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 This school is disorganized and chaotic. They always seem to jumping from one thing to another, and none of the plans seem to be well thought out. The at home, online assignments come with passwords that don't work (on several occasions), the laptops they bought for the students at great cost seem to be of very little educational value. There seems to be such waste at this school. Expensive (& very slippery) marble floors were put in the rundown, old part of the school. A huge, and now very dirty-looking, globe was installed on the top of the administration building. The money that they waste on these, and many other things, could be put towards giving the low paid teachers a much needed raise.
They always seem to be copying what the better rated charter schools (Yes Prep & Kipp) are doing, but they seem to put very little forethought into their actions. 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.
