Despite its higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Northwest Elementary School has consistently underperformed in academic metrics, with only 52% of 3rd graders and 47% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 34% of 3rd graders and 39% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to the Jenks district averages of 59% and 55% in ELA, and 43% and 47% in Math, respectively. The school's performance has been declining over the years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 282nd out of 411 schools in 2018-2019 to 318th out of 389 schools in 2023-2024.

The school's challenges may be attributed to factors beyond just funding, such as student demographics and school leadership, as it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools.

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.
