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 I graduated from Deep Run in '12. I disliked it very much. From an educational standpoint DRHS is an Above Average high school if you are a "normal" student, but as a student with disabilities I believe the education I receive was watered down just because I had an IEP, instead of taught in new and different ways I was stuck in a classroom with disruptive students who could care less about their education. They taught us all year so that we could pass a test at the end of the course and that was all they cared about. From a social standpoint I was tortured almost everyday with some form of bulling. Because I did not look the right way or have the right clothes I was immediately an outcast and stayed that way for 4 years. None of the Bulling that was reported resulted in any disciplinary action, DRHS likes to sweep incidents under the rug and pretend it never happened, instead of dealing with them. Bulling is a huge problem at DRHS, during my four year I had "holy water" thrown at me in the halls, asked to prom as a joke, and they joked about my weight and medical problems all the time. DR is not a bad school, but if you are "different" it can be a very hard place to attend 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.
