Westside Elementary School

Summary:

Westside Elementary School is a public elementary school in Claremore, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 557. The school is part of the Claremore School District, which is ranked 165 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westside Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of Native American (21.54%) and two or more races (18.49%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSTP tests, is generally lower than the Claremore district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Westside Elementary has also seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a high of 5-star rating and #9 ranking in 2009-2010 to a 1-star rating and #215 ranking in 2022-2023.

Despite these challenges, Westside Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.3, which is lower than the nearby schools. The school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (56.01%) compared to the nearby schools, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. These factors suggest that Westside Elementary may be facing socioeconomic challenges that could impact student learning and achievement, and that targeted interventions and support programs may be necessary to address these issues and 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.
