Bishop Public School

Summary:

Bishop Public School is an elementary school serving 566 students in grades PK-6 in Lawton, Oklahoma, which is part of the Bishop School District. The school has a strong academic history, ranking as high as 15th out of 957 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2014-2015 and maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years. However, its ranking has declined in recent years, dropping to 223rd out of 389 schools in 2023-2024 and receiving a 2-star rating.

One of the school's key strengths is its performance for specific student subgroups. In 2020-2021, Bishop Public School ranked 4th out of 97 Oklahoma elementary schools for Hispanic students and 28th out of 506 schools for students of low socioeconomic status, both with a 5-star rating. The school's test scores are also generally higher than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, 63% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 46%, and 48% were proficient or better in Science, compared to the state average of 34%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Comanche Academy and Learning Tree Academy, Bishop Public School generally outperforms them in academic measures, despite having a lower spending per student and a smaller student-teacher ratio. This suggests that the school may be able to achieve its strong academic performance with relatively lower resources. However, the nearby schools serve an even more economically disadvantaged population, with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

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.
