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 The pick up drop off is absurd.
 The morning it is so dark outside at 7:20 that you can not even see your small child walk past (at least) 8 to 10 vehicles .They enforce moving fwd & pay little attention to where children are walking,as long as the cars are moving fwd.I have a real problem with this considering my child has special needs.My child crosses the lot through two sets of moving traffic (the parent child drop off & the bus circle)to get to the door.Outragous! No  way to see if your child even makes it in the door.Considering my child is still at a age they hold my hand in the  lot, I find this disturbing.Afternoon someone who does not even introduce themselves to you or child reluctantly delivers the child in the circle of cars,meanwhile cars are wrapping both directions across front of the school leading in to moving traffic leading blocking the major thoroughfare. Main office has it going on for sure.Props to them for doing a great job! Security's strictly enforced & I applaud that.Professionalism is outstanding in my personal experienced.Not impressed  with the home room teacher appointed to my student or their professionalism.I looked into all before assigned one & wish I had been persistent on my choice. I was convinced to give the present one a try. Big Mistake. My child never had discipline issues before being enrolled here at Coker.Everyday now for about a month has been coming home with negative reports & has been acting out. I believe its negatively impacting esteem & resulting in emotional distress .At home we work on assignments sent  for hours, its obvious it was not taught in school. At this point,we should be getting homeschooling credits. At least something is being learned from somebody even if it does take away from family time &the life that we used to enjoy.Its easy to blame the child.Yet more logical for a teacher to be accountable for why their methods are not working by thinking like a adult and not being so petty.The special ed teacher is a sweet man with a lot of great methods.I believe he yields many good things.I also think being understaffed in this department deems a major problem & a  unnecessary burden for the student teacher ratio.Usually by the time intervention is needed it's already gone off the deep.
I will remain fair & objective reporting back as time progresses.I encourage other parents observance & give us your thoughts on these or other matters regarding your own personal experiences. 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.
