Quail Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Quail Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 543 students in grades PK-4 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Quail Creek Elementary has consistently outperformed the Oklahoma City and statewide averages in the percentage of students proficient or better in OSTP English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. However, the school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, from a high of 46th out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 268th out of 276 in 2022-2023. While Quail Creek outperforms the district and state, it lags behind some nearby schools, such as Dove Science Academy Elementary School and Dennis Elementary School, which have higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics.

Quail Creek Elementary serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged community, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.38% in 2020-2021 to 74.95% in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the nearby Nichols Hills Elementary (73.28%) and Angie Debo Elementary (44.91%). The school's spending per student of $8,860 in 2018-2019 is higher than some nearby schools, but lower than others, suggesting that the relationship between spending and student performance is complex and warrants further analysis.

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.
