Academy Elementary School

Summary:

Academy Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Guymon, Oklahoma, serving grades 3-4 with a total enrollment of 426 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic student body (76.76% in 2022-2023) and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

While Academy Elementary School's overall academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in OSTP/English Language Arts and Mathematics, is generally lower than the Guymon district and Oklahoma state averages, the school's Hispanic students and English Language Learner students perform better than the school's overall performance, ranking 30th and 13th, respectively, out of Oklahoma elementary schools in 2020-2021. The school's spending per student ($9,192 in 2018-2019) is also lower than the surrounding schools, which range from $5,999 to $13,803 per student.

Nearby schools in the Guymon district, such as Prairie Elementary, Northeast Elementary, and Homer Long Elementary, have similar demographic and performance characteristics to Academy Elementary School, suggesting that the challenges faced by Academy Elementary School may be systemic within the district. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the diverse student population, and the relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance compared to the state and district averages.

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.
