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 had one child go through and one child currently enrolled. The principal and teachers are phenomenal. They do a great job of making the students feel welcome and valued. It is easy to get lost in middle school and these educators place importance on finding a place for every child. Close Quote

Open Quote The athletic program for the girls is one of the worst coaching I have ever seen. We have coaches that no nothing about coaching because they have never been athletes so how are they going to know a game without playing it? Why does the district spend our taxpayers money on people that are not qualified to do it? The girls have no direction,motivation,no structure, no coaches(just losers that are there to get a check). When will the district do something to make a better girls athletic program? Ask Ryan he is running the district? Maybe he needs to replaced and hire someone that is real aggressive in finding and and hiring the best coaches. 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.
