Summary:

Barnes Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Owasso, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 518. The school is part of the Owasso school district, which is ranked 141 out of 295 districts in Oklahoma and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Barnes Elementary School has consistently performed above the state and district averages in various OSTP (Oklahoma School Testing Program) assessments. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 53%, compared to the Owasso district average of 45% and the Oklahoma state average of 34%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 38%, higher than the Owasso district average of 43% and the state average of 35%. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates were lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools, such as Pamela Hodson Elementary.

While Barnes Elementary School has a more diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 20.82% in 2020-2021 to 32.63% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students. This could have implications for the school's resource allocation, support services, and overall educational approach. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 32nd out of 407 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 166th out of 276 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school may be facing increasing competition or challenges compared to other high-performing schools in the state.

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.
