Summary:

Jones Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 539 students in grades PK-5 in Jones, Oklahoma, which is part of the Choctaw-Nicoma Park school district. While the school outperforms the state average on several key test score metrics, it faces challenges related to its student demographics and socioeconomic factors.

Jones Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (61.22%) compared to the surrounding schools, such as Crutcho Public School and Willow Brook Elementary School, which have more diverse student populations. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.05%), which is higher than the state average.

However, the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating relatively stable performance. With a focus on addressing the needs of its diverse student population and socioeconomic challenges, Jones Elementary may be able to further improve its academic outcomes and overall school 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.

Open Quote I went to Jones Public Schools most of my life. As did my uncle & my grandmother. My great grandmother taught in Jones in the mid 1900's. Now my 5 children go to Jones Public Schools. They have smaller class rooms resulting in children being able to learn better because they get more one on one attention. The Longhorn pride is huge here! We have some of the states top Football, Cheerleading, Softball, Choir & Bowling. Close Quote

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.
