Morris Elementary School

Summary:

Morris Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 440 students in grades PK-5 in the town of Morris, Oklahoma, which is part of the Okmulgee School District. The school stands out for its relatively diverse student population, strong performance in certain subject areas, and efforts to support economically disadvantaged students.

With a student body that is 45.45% White, 24.55% Native American, and 25.68% two or more races, Morris Elementary has a higher level of diversity than many surrounding schools. The school has also demonstrated impressive academic achievements, with 72% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in OSTP/Science, significantly exceeding the state average of 35%. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade math proficiency rate of 40% is higher than the state average of 27%. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting variable performance.

One challenge facing Morris Elementary is the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.18% to 64.55% over the past three years. This indicates a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15 to 16.4 students per teacher, which may help mitigate the impact of socioeconomic challenges. Compared to nearby schools, Morris Elementary generally performs better than lower-ranked schools but lags behind the 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.
