Rush Springs Elementary School

Summary:

Rush Springs Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 244 students in grades PK-5 in the rural town of Rush Springs, Oklahoma. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (75%), with significant Native American (18.85%) and two or more races (2.46%) representation.

One of the key strengths of Rush Springs Elementary is its consistently strong academic performance. The school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, with 59% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA and 50% in 3rd grade Math, compared to the state averages of 51% and 38%, respectively. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 14.3 over the past three years, which may contribute to more personalized attention for students. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, from a high of 115th out of 407 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 653rd out of 957 in 2014-2015, suggesting inconsistencies in its performance.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Cyril Elementary School, Fletcher Elementary School, and Alex Elementary School, Rush Springs Elementary stands out for its higher test scores in 3rd grade ELA and Math, despite having a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 66.8% to 72.56% over the past three school years. This suggests that the school may be doing a better job of supporting its students, despite the challenges of a higher-poverty population.

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.
