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 daughter is in 3rd grade!!! The school called me yesterday about my daughter handed out money to her classmates, they found out bc this is $100 ok, I did give her permission about going to my purse to get $1 here $1 there for her to buy stickers or snack at the school.. anyway after school call I looked into my purse and realized $300 missing, I talked to my daughter about it, told her it's a lots of money that she took out from my purse and ask her why she did that? why she gave money out to them kids? she finnally broke down and told me those kids been bullying her for the last 3 months, they called her names made fun of her ( my daughter is overweight ) She thinking if give them money they will leave her alone...I went to school after she told me the story of being bullying and how many kids she gave the money to!! school called those parents and discover all the money that she gave to them... but I have to wait the next day to come back and get it back bc almost time to close hour.
This morning I took my daughter to the office and talked to school about the bullying, I want her to be safe and happy at school, then I found out from school that my daughter lies about how she have that big amount of money, very disappointed of her and will have a long talks when I'm home from work today..the principle called and told me that my daughter told her and the other 2 workers there that no one bullying her! and ask me to solve this problem with my daughter at home.. I believed the principle and will do what she told me to do with my daughter, but can't wait till I get home so I called to talk to my daughter on the phone at home and asked her did she say that to them at the school? she said to me no she never said that, she told them many time only 2 boys bullying her and her counselor already take care of that and the boys apologize to her!! very good job the counselor solve the problem ( the 2 stars I rate for her) now I wonder why the principle lie to me about the whole situation??? she tried to protect her own people's? she think my daughter lie about where she got the $$ and blamed everything on her??
I called the principle back and asked her again that Sydney really told them that? and did she make a talk to them bullying kids? she told me because of what Sydney told them they don't need to do anything further !! what kind of the principle like this??? what is really wrong with her??? how can she run the school when she is a damn lier herself???
My daughter not a lier the money she gave to those 4 kids $110 was the money her grandma gave it to her for x-mas which she told them!! the 300$ bill are mine which she took it in my purse!!.. my daughter is only 9,she just a kid how can u blame on her for the whole thing?? the school in the process of getting a new principle!!! can't wait for this one to leave so this school have better leader and will have high rate to be a top school with 5 stars!!!! thanks for reading and understand my point!!!

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.
