Summary:

Roosevelt Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 263 students in grades K-5 in Ponca City, Oklahoma. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 32% of 4th graders proficient or better in ELA and 71% of 5th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to 43% and 45% for the district, respectively.

Roosevelt Elementary has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 89.35% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. When compared to nearby schools in the Ponca City district, such as E.M. Trout Elementary and Woodlands Elementary, Roosevelt Elementary has significantly lower test scores and rankings.

The widening achievement gap and underperformance relative to nearby schools within the same district suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique needs of its student population and improve educational outcomes. Factors such as the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the relatively high student-teacher ratio may be contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
