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 My daughter, Zoe, started school at Kaufman Elementary last year for kindergarten. She is autistic & they have been absolutely wonderful with her!!! If something didn't work for my daughter, they would try something different until something did work. I was also very worried about her starting school as a mainstream student & being made fun of because she does things that are different than the other children & also because of all of the bullying you hear about going on in schools today. I was so impressed with the way that they handled this topic. When they say there is no tolerance they mean there is no tolerance. If a child were to say something cross or make fun of her, they would nip it in the bud immediately & it never happened again. My daughter was never made to feel different & she loves going to school. All the staff & students at this school are just amazing!!! Also academically they were great & my daughter is moving into the 1st grade. Our plans to move in the next year have been put on hold & have been put on the back burner until after she moves out of 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.
