Dimensions Academy

Q: Is Dimensions Academy a good school?

Dimensions Academy ranks 291 st of 439 Oklahoma high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Dimensions Academy is a public high school in Norman, Oklahoma, serving 457 students in grades 9-12. While part of the Norman School District, which is ranked 118 out of 295 districts in the state, Dimensions Academy has consistently underperformed compared to nearby high schools like Norman North High School and Norman High School.

Dimensions Academy has significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to its peers. This may be due in part to the school's higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 61.71% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Additionally, Dimensions Academy has a higher student-teacher ratio of 18.7, compared to 20.4 and 20.7 at the nearby high-performing schools. As a result, Dimensions Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma high schools, while Norman North and Norman High are ranked much higher.

However, Dimensions Academy does have a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of minority students. While Hispanic students perform relatively well, students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and those with disabilities struggle significantly. Despite spending $11,191 per student, which is higher than the nearby schools, Dimensions Academy's academic performance does not reflect this higher investment. When compared to nearby charter schools, Dimensions Academy performs better academically, but those charter schools serve an even higher percentage of 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.
