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.

Overall experience
When my child first entered this school in 6th & 7th grade, it was a awful experience. My child was bullied by another student for a long while, and it went on from one year to the next. I had no help from the Principal and the Assistant Principle . They denied the situations because of ignorance, assumptions, and bad follow up work of the Assistant Principal (who is still there). The assigned Assistant Principal did more harm than good which negatively effected my child greatly. When the new Principle came aboard, I contacted her and talked to her about the prior years. She made sure to help change the problems. We were assigned a new Assistant Principal, as I asked for, and she made sure the other student would not be in same classes. In the end, the whole truth came out, and my son and I were believed when this other child actually attacked him in front of other teachers and students, without cause on my child's part. My child's grades went from bad to great! They have a good IEP program overall but do not expect it to be as comprehensive as some elementary schools. Over-all the teachers are good. 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.
