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.

Thursday, June 19, 2014

Hayden Peak has developed into a wonderful school full of enriching academic and extracurricular activities that has helped our son grow into a well rounded individual. He is above two grade levels for math and reading. This was always the case, they have programs to work with struggling children and they are very effective! If there is a problem, Mrs. Riddle is quick to find a fair solution for all involved! Every teacher we have had since kindergarten has been phenominal except one and that was remedied by changing teachers. The parent involvement is very high which helps Hayden Peak be so successful! Test scores are average or above average. Only issues I have is I wish gym, art and computers were a daily class instead of weekly. However that is the norm across all public schools unfortunately!

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.
