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 this school allowed my 6 year old daughter to get on the wrong bus..The bus took her home, when she was supposed to go to daycare after. I dont get home till 6pm, i found my daughter after searching for her for what seemed like an eternity at a random neighbors house..! this was after i went to the daycare to retrieve my child and was told she was not there and they didnt know her whereabouts!! I am outraged at this entire situation.. She is 6 years old! why was there no supervision for my child? Why they allow a child of this age to tell them where she is going, and or not question her getting on the wrong bus? I ALWAYS CALL the school to notify them to bring her home if i am home, I DID NOT call them or anyone else to say send her home! I was in complete panic looking and searching for my 6yr old, I can not beleive that this could happen at an elementary school..These teachers are supposed to be watching these kids and directing them to go to the CORRECT destination!

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.
