Comanche Elementary School

Summary:

Comanche Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 427 students in grades PK-5 in Comanche, Oklahoma. The school faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high poverty rates, and a relatively low school ranking compared to other Oklahoma elementary schools.

Academically, Comanche Elementary has struggled, with only 48% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51%. In math, 43% of 3rd graders and 38% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to state averages of 38% and 40% respectively. This underperformance is a key differentiator for the school.

When compared to nearby schools like Waurika Elementary and Empire Elementary, Comanche Elementary underperformed in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates. The school's leadership and the Central High community should work together to address these issues and implement strategies 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.
