Lake Park Elementary School

Summary:

Lake Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bethany, Oklahoma, serving around 300 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Putnam City School District, which is ranked 298 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Lake Park Elementary has struggled compared to state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 39% of 4th graders and 62% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, while in math, proficiency rates were even lower, with only 30% of 3rd graders, 28% of 4th graders, and 42% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding standards. This is significantly below the state averages. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 166 out of 411 schools in 2018-2019 to 317 out of 389 schools in 2023-2024.

However, it's worth noting that many of the nearby Putnam City schools, such as Central Elementary, Windsor Hills Elementary, and Tulakes Elementary, also struggle academically and have low performance levels. Despite these challenges, Lake Park Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 and higher per-student spending of $11,938 could present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.

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.
