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 There seems to be no management! Principal Jennifer Heiges puts on a smile but does very little to improve MRES. The teachers do whatever they want and are not held accountable for their wrong and lack of doing. Apparently, the school is known by many as one of the lowest ranking schools in the area but MRES seems to refuse to improve it. The student receives a very poor education as a result. Close Quote

Open Quote This is a fantastic school. The Principal is wonderful and engaged, which sets a precedence from the top down. The teachers are great and very involved. The entire staff is very committed to the students and the school. This is a very impressive school. Close Quote

Open Quote This school has some great teachers and an active PTA. For years large numbers of gifted and talented students were bussed out of this school to go to another one which skews the test results a bit. But this is a great school. 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.
