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 Kid's 2nd grade teacher turned out to be racist and bully . She bullied my kid for whole school year by not letting her pee and my poor kid stayed in pain for so long. She and their teacher in training made fun of our religion and Gods in front of almost 40 students where she was the only Hindu and embarrased my daughter. The teacher in training even laughed at a school bully calling her annoying in front of the whole class. My kid stayed inside the bathroom and cried for one full hour as she felt distressed after the incident and nobody even checked on her. On top of that her homeroom teacher wrongfully blamed my daughter for lying instead of punishing the bullies and punished her instead in front of her peers and teachers. All her teacher ever replied to me questioning about these things is that- my daughter is not following the protocol or she is distracted, well rightly so as she was never told any protocol and she is distracted because of constant bullying going around. She was being bullied everyday by 2 girls , I complained zillion times, nothing happened. I never realised that teacher herself is doing the same. They were even given awards in school ceremonies and from Mayor's office while my daughter being one of the brightest in the class was never awarded academically. the administration is trying to help but little can be done to fix my child who is emotionally and pschologically hurt by bullying not only by two 8 year olds but by her own home room teacher.

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.
