Washington Elementary School

Summary:

Washington Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 361 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 33.8% White, 14.68% Hispanic, 28.25% Native American, and 21.61% two or more races.

Washington Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 362 out of 389 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSTP/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is significantly below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 47% of 3rd-grade students and 39% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51% and 47%, respectively. In Mathematics, the proficiency rates were even lower, with only 30% of 3rd-grade students and 31% of 4th-grade students meeting or exceeding the standards, compared to the state averages of 38% and 40%. When analyzing the performance of specific student subgroups, Washington Elementary School's rankings are even more concerning, with the school ranking particularly low for Native American and low socioeconomic status students.

The high percentage of students from low-income families, with 64.82% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, may be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. In contrast, nearby schools such as Homer Elementary School and Latta Elementary School, both in the Byng school district, have significantly higher academic performance and rankings, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Washington Elementary School to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools.

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.
