Over the past several years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a current ranking of 360 out of 389 schools and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central Oak Elementary faces significant challenges in academic performance, with only 39% of 3rd graders and 49% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 51% and 47%, respectively. In mathematics, only 18% of 3rd graders and 38% of 4th graders were proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 38% and 40%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high percentage of students (95.85%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Central Oak Elementary struggles academically, some nearby schools, such as John W.

This suggests that factors beyond just student demographics, such as school leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices, may play a role in academic 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.
