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.

Our new administration in 2015 is ruining a formerly fabulous school. We used to be clean and organized. Now we've got trash everywhere and chaos is the rule. Somehow they are paying a mom whose a professional volunteer to paint the walls? My girls are going to go live with my Mom across the river in a few weeks. Everyone used to be included and we seemed to always find a way to get along. Now we have factions and favorites and fights and lots of silliness. No one knows whats goin on til the last minute and "information" is power. Like little kids sayin "Nah nah nah nah nah nah I know some thing you don't know. The PTA used to be great but now are a joke. Teachers are stressed, behaving badly, always on their phones, and dressing inappropriately. The office staff act like they need lithium bc they love you one minute then bite your head off the next. Hate it. Just hate it. 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.
