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.

School teachers are very supportive. They consistently monitor students progress and forward it to parents and also help students to excel in their academics. Teachers not only teach academics but also teach students how to become a good human being and moral values. My two kids studied in this school and learned a lot from teachers. Teachers and all non-teaching staff are very supportive.Thanks to Albert Einstein school staff. Close Quote

Einstein is a warm and nurturing school and encourages each student to do his or her best. It has some of the most dedicated teachers and staff that I have ever met. We had the opportunity to transfer to some other "better-ranked" schools in the neighborhood, but we chose to continue at Einstein. While most other schools have one academic level for all kids, Einstein breaks kids into separate groups and provides accelerated enrichment for the advanced kids while still catering to meet the needs of those lagging behind.

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.
