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 In 2015-2016 the average classroom size is 20-23 students. The Parent / Teacher Organization works cohesively with a strong emphasis on the student's enjoyment of learning and in having fun. The PTA is very active, and organizes many successful events and community-service programs. The school administrators are professional, courteous and do well maintaining a clean school, a no bully policy and a safe/fun learning environment. On average, teachers care for students and teach progressive lessons. Office personnel keep a clean and organize front office. A re-alignment of school boundaries during the summer of 2015 bus students in from lower-income families living in Manassas, VA that account for increased financial assistance programs and increased volunteer/financial support by the parents of the 20136 zip code area. Future test results, personnel turn-over, and/or ongoing parent evaluations will determine if the school is affected by the re-zoning. Close Quote

Open Quote The school is to interested in behaviorial issues to focus on advanced education. The principals, Mrs. Gross especially, have created an environment of fear and retaliation at the school. Children are verbally rewarded with great praise for telling on other children there. It has become so prevalent and hurtful an environment that children make up lies of what other children have done just to see them get punished. It is a horrible environment. Unfortunately the principals have taught my children to become accomplished liars to stay out of trouble, no more than that. Horrible administration and mean and vindictive teachers are at this school in my opinion. I personally think this is child abuse plain and simple but completely legal. Disgusting. 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.
