Elk City Middle School

Summary:

Elk City Middle School is a public middle school serving 306 students in grades 7-8 in Elk City, Oklahoma. The school has shown strong academic performance, outperforming the state average in several key subjects, and has seen a significant improvement in its statewide ranking, now earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Elk City Middle School maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which allows for more individualized attention and support for its diverse student population. However, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that it serves a significant number of students from low-income families. The school's racial demographics have also shifted, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in Hispanic students, which may require the school to adapt its programming and support services accordingly.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sayre Middle School and Elk City Ies, Elk City Middle School appears to have stronger academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. However, Elk City Ies has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate a greater need for additional resources and support in that school. Overall, Elk City Middle School is providing a quality education to its students, but may need to focus on addressing the unique needs of specific subgroups to ensure equitable outcomes for all.

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.
