Lukfata Public School

Q: Is Lukfata Public School a good school?

Lukfata Public School ranks 75 th of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lukfata Public School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Broken Bow, Oklahoma, with a student population of 382. This school stands out as a consistently high-performing institution, consistently outperforming the state average on standardized tests across multiple grade levels and subjects.

One of the key factors that sets Lukfata Public School apart is its diverse student population, with a mix of White (43.19%), Native American (26.44%), and students of two or more races (16.23%). Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 57.59% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school still manages to achieve exceptional academic results. This is a remarkable achievement, as the school is able to overcome socioeconomic challenges and deliver quality education to its students.

Lukfata Public School's consistent high performance is further evidenced by its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 65 out of 295 districts in the state. This sustained commitment to excellence is not as prevalent in some of the nearby schools, such as Denison Public School and Holly Creek Public School, which also perform well but do not quite match Lukfata's level of consistent high achievement. The school's ability to maintain its strong ranking and rating over several years is a testament to its dedication to providing a quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
