Nicoma Park Intermediate Elementary School

Summary:

Nicoma Park Intermediate Elementary School is a public school serving grades 3-5 in Choctaw, Oklahoma, with a student population of 366. The school's performance has been variable, with a statewide ranking ranging from 212th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2022-2023 to as high as 131st out of 323 schools in 2021-2022. Nicoma Park Intermediate's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the Choctaw-Nicoma Park district and state averages, and the school has seen significant fluctuations in its free and reduced lunch rates, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When compared to other nearby schools in the Choctaw-Nicoma Park district, Nicoma Park Intermediate generally performs worse on standardized tests, with lower proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. For example, L.W. Westfall Elementary School, which is only 1.67 miles away, consistently outperforms Nicoma Park Intermediate on these metrics. However, Nicoma Park Intermediate has a more diverse student population compared to some of the other nearby schools, such as Choctaw Elementary School and L.W. Westfall Elementary School, which have higher percentages of White students.

Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio than some nearby schools, Nicoma Park Intermediate's spending per student ($7,437 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby Choctaw Elementary School ($10,837) and L.W. Westfall Elementary School ($6,523), which may be a contributing factor to its relatively lower academic performance. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions may be necessary to improve the school's overall academic outcomes and provide a more equitable educational experience for its diverse student population.

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.
