Aspen Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Aspen Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, part of the Broken Arrow School District. With 622 students, Aspen Creek has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past several years, currently at 295 out of 389 schools.

Aspen Creek Elementary's test scores are generally below the Broken Arrow district and Oklahoma state averages, with only 40-53% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math in 2023-2024. The school has also seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 35.19% in 2021-2022 to 54.82% in 2023-2024, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, Aspen Creek has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.7 and lower spending per student at $6,676 compared to nearby schools like Vandever ($8,564) and Arrow Springs ($8,271).

The declining performance of Aspen Creek Elementary, with its statewide ranking dropping from 204 out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to 295 out of 389 schools in 2023-2024, is concerning. When compared to nearby schools in the Broken Arrow district, such as Leisure Park Elementary and Wolf Creek Elementary, Aspen Creek generally underperforms in terms of test scores and school rankings. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, resource allocation, and community collaboration may be necessary to improve the school's performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.

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.
