Scissortail Elementary School

Q: Is Scissortail Elementary School a good school?

Scissortail Elementary School ranks 190 th of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Scissortail Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with 331 students. While part of the highly-ranked Edmond School District, Scissortail faces unique challenges, including lower test scores, a higher percentage of students from low-income families, and a declining statewide ranking compared to other schools in the area.

Scissortail Elementary's test scores are generally lower than the Edmond district and Oklahoma state averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36%) and Mathematics (39%) were significantly lower than the Edmond district (46% and 51%) and the state (29% and 34%). The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 56.5%, much higher than nearby Washington Irving Elementary, West Field Elementary, and Charles Haskell Elementary, which range from 30.94% to 44.91%.

Despite being part of the highly-ranked Edmond School District, Scissortail Elementary's statewide ranking has been declining, from 190 out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 237 out of 323 in 2021-2022. This suggests the school may be facing unique challenges not shared by its neighboring schools, potentially related to the socioeconomic factors of its diverse student population, which is 32.33% African American, 13.29% Hispanic, and 7.85% Asian.

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.
