Inola Elementary School

Summary:

Inola Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 629 students in grades PK-5 in Inola, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Inola School District, which is ranked 193 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Inola Elementary School stands out for its diverse student population, with a significant Native American enrollment of around 25% in recent years, higher than nearby schools that tend to have a larger white student majority. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects performing above the state average, while others lag behind. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency was 38% in 2022-2023, compared to the state average of 34%, but 5th grade math proficiency was only 26%, slightly below the state's 27%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49% to 60% in recent years, higher than the nearby Verdigris Elementary School and Roosa Elementary School.

Inola Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 3 stars in 2020-2021 to only 1 star in the most recent year, suggesting that the school's performance may be declining relative to other schools in the state. However, the school's Native American students and low-socioeconomic status students perform better than the school's overall performance, ranking 42nd and 231st out of Oklahoma elementary schools, respectively, in 2020-2021. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($7,004 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby schools, which range from $7,592 to $10,378 per student, which may be a contributing factor to the school's relatively lower performance.

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.
