Will Rogers Elementary School

Q: Is Will Rogers Elementary School a good school?

Will Rogers Elementary School ranks 187 th of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Will Rogers Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edmond, Oklahoma, serving 663 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Edmond School District. While the district is ranked 101 out of 342 in the state, Will Rogers has consistently performed in the middle to lower range of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a current ranking of 187 out of 389.

Will Rogers' student performance on state assessments (OSTP) is generally below the Edmond district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, where only 36% of 3rd graders were proficient or better, compared to 53% in Edmond and 38% statewide. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 50.98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than nearby schools like Centennial Elementary (18.88%) and Chisholm Elementary (21.81%). However, Will Rogers does have a smaller student-teacher ratio of 15.5, which could be a potential advantage in providing more individualized attention.

The nearby schools consistently outperform Will Rogers Elementary on state assessments, and the school's performance has declined over the past several years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 74 out of 407 schools in 2016-2017 to 187 out of 389 in 2023-2024. This trend suggests a need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and address the unique challenges faced by the school's high percentage of low-income 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.

Horrible school. Bullying is rampant and impune. Teachers and aides are barely going through the motions. The aide found with meth and marijuana in her backpack at school is no surprise. I thought we were going to have to sell our home to get away from this school. After filing the transfer paperwork seven times over the course of two years and participating in the Parents Choice lottery four times, it was finally granted. Close Quote

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.
