Catalayah Elementary School

Q: Is Catalayah Elementary School a good school?

Catalayah Elementary School ranks 202 nd of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Catalayah Elementary School is a public elementary school serving around 490 students in grades PK-5 in Claremore, Oklahoma, which is part of the Claremore School District. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates on par or slightly below the district and state averages.

Catalayah's student population stands out for its higher percentages of Native American (22.24%) and students of two or more races (15.51%) compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by OSTP assessments, has been generally on par or slightly below the Claremore district and state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, 32% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 31% in Claremore and 28% statewide. Additionally, Catalayah has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.7% to 58.98%, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Compared to nearby higher-performing schools, such as Roosa Elementary and Pamela Hodson Elementary, Catalayah's academic performance and statewide ranking have declined over the years, from 72nd out of 407 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 202nd out of 276 in 2022-2023. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly for underperforming subgroups like White students and low-socioeconomic status 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.
