Byng Elementary School

Summary:

Byng Elementary School is a public middle school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 264 students. This school stands out for its diverse student population, strong 4th-grade mathematics performance, and higher student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, but also faces challenges in 6th-grade academic performance and a high percentage of students from low-income families.

Byng Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 42.05% White, 35.61% Native American, and 11.74% two or more races. This diversity is higher than the nearby Stratford Middle School and Latta Middle School, which have a larger percentage of White students. In terms of academic performance, Byng Elementary has performed better than the state average in 4th-grade mathematics, with 42% of students proficient or better in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 35%. However, their 6th-grade mathematics proficiency (16%) is lower than the state average (23%), and their 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (24%) is slightly lower than the state average (26%).

Byng Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.85% in 2020-2021 to 57.95% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Latta Middle School, which has a 34.83% free and reduced lunch rate. Additionally, Byng Elementary has a higher student-teacher ratio ranging from 14.1 in 2020-2021 to 16 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Latta Middle School (14.6) and Stratford Middle School (16). These factors suggest that Byng Elementary serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, which may impact academic performance and require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
