Latta Elementary School

Summary:

Latta Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 486 students. The school is part of the Ada School District, which is ranked 24th out of 295 districts in Oklahoma and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Latta Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Oklahoma, with a statewide ranking between 43-84 out of 276-646 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (OSTP) is significantly higher than the state average across multiple grade levels and subjects, particularly in Mathematics, where 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students consistently outperform the state average by a wide margin. Latta Elementary also has a diverse student population, with a significant Native American representation (around 30%) and a relatively high percentage of students identifying as two or more races (around 20%), which is unique compared to many of the surrounding schools like Washington Elementary and Hayes Elementary.

Additionally, Latta Elementary has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (around 40%) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Stonewall Elementary and Roff Elementary, which have much higher rates (over 60%). Despite this, Latta's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform exceptionally well, ranking 50th out of 506 Oklahoma elementary schools in this category in 2020-2021. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio may be contributing factors to its academic success, particularly for its economically disadvantaged students.

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.
