Lindsay Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking between 227 and 336 out of 389-957 schools over the past decade. The school's performance on state assessments (OSTP) is generally below the state average, with around 40% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics for grades 3-4, compared to the state averages of 51% and 38-40%, respectively. Nearby schools like Elmore City-Pernell Elementary and Washington Elementary have significantly higher proficiency rates in these subjects.

The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Lindsay Elementary, with 67.72% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to the academic challenges the school faces. However, the school's per-student spending of $7,906 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.3 is similar to nearby schools. Despite these challenges, Lindsay Elementary's performance on state assessments in certain grade levels and subjects suggests the school has the potential to improve its overall academic outcomes by identifying and replicating successful strategies from higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
