Tulsa Legacy Charter School Inc

Summary:

Tulsa Legacy Charter School Inc is a small elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with a predominantly African American student population and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Tulsa Legacy Charter School Inc has consistently underperformed the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school's ranking has remained in the bottom 20% of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past several years, indicating a lack of significant improvement. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby public schools, and its spending per student is lower than at some of those schools as well.

When compared to nearby public schools like Sperry Elementary, which has consistently outperformed the state average on standardized tests, Tulsa Legacy Charter School Inc's academic performance appears to be significantly lower. This suggests the school may be struggling to provide a quality education to its students, who come from a high-need population, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at the school and many of the nearby public schools in the Tulsa and Sperry districts.

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.

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.
