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 brother and I went to this school when we were younger and it really helped us prepare for our future. We both went to college I finished with a masters degree in accounting and he finished with an aerospace engineering degree.

My son now goes there now and the teachers are still amazing. My son had numerous problems beginning school. He would sleep in class, be disruptive, and never could concentrate. Instead of parent blaming the teachers looked for other explanations and found them. His kindergarten teacher recognized his giftedness and suggested he take the test which confirmed it. His first grade teacher recognized he was dyslexic and after he started those classes he is now caught up in grade level reading. Finally his GT teacher recognized his excessive sleepiness in her evaluation for his behavior for his dr. That evaluation proved to be instrumental in the dr.'s diagnosis of sleep apnea for which he needed surgery. Currently he is doing fantastic!

The only con I would say is that since I was there they replaced Spanish with theatre and I think learning any foreign language would be more beneficial than theatre. 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.
