Cleveland Elementary School

Q: Is Cleveland Elementary School a good school?

Cleveland Elementary School ranks 201 st of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cleveland Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 439 students in grades PK-4 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. While the school has consistently outperformed the Oklahoma City and statewide averages on standardized tests, its statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from a high of 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars to just 2 stars in the most recent school year.

Cleveland Elementary's test scores are impressive, with 68% of 4th graders proficient in English Language Arts and 67% proficient in Math, compared to just 25% and 19% respectively in Oklahoma City and 47% and 40% statewide. However, the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 65-70% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the state average and may contribute to the challenges the school faces. Additionally, while Cleveland Elementary outperforms its local and statewide peers, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Wilson Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools.

Despite its strong test scores, Cleveland Elementary's declining statewide ranking suggests that the school may be facing challenges that are not fully captured by the available data. Continued analysis and targeted interventions could help the school maintain and potentially improve its performance and ranking over time. Parents interested in learning more about Cleveland Elementary School or comparing it to other local options can explore the Oklahoma City school district and nearby schools like Arbor Grove Elementary, Kaiser Elementary, and Wilson Elementary.

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.

3 out of 5 stars?? I'm thinking many voters don't even live in the district. This is a great school! All 3 of my children are in or have went through Cleveland. Parental involvement, great teachers, highly recommended. Close Quote

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.
