Oak Crest Elementary School

Q: Is Oak Crest Elementary School a good school?

Oak Crest Elementary School ranks 284 th of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Oak Crest Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 367 students in grades PK-5 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, which is part of the Broken Arrow School District. The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates that consistently lag behind the district and state averages on standardized tests.

Oak Crest Elementary's performance is particularly concerning, with only 51% of 3rd graders, 53% of 4th graders, and 37% of 5th graders achieving proficiency in English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the Broken Arrow district's rates of 53%, 50%, and 53%, respectively. In Mathematics, Oak Crest's proficiency rates were 47% in 3rd grade, 46% in 4th grade, and 47% in 5th grade, compared to the district's rates of 40%, 41%, and 41%. This underperformance is likely exacerbated by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

When comparing Oak Crest Elementary to other nearby schools in the Broken Arrow district, it becomes clear that the school is one of the lower-performing options. For example, Leisure Park Elementary and Wolf Creek Elementary both outperform Oak Crest in terms of proficiency rates on standardized tests and have lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite these challenges, Oak Crest Elementary spends $8,734 per student, which is higher than the spending at some nearby 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.
