Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 10.3:1, lower than the statewide school median of 11.9:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
School choice options include 4 magnet schools. Application windows and lotteries usually open months before the school year.
About 26% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
