Holmes Park Elementary School

Q: Is Holmes Park Elementary School a good school?

Holmes Park Elementary School ranks 195 th of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Holmes Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, with 642 students enrolled. The school has shown steady improvement in recent years, outperforming the Sapulpa School District and the state of Oklahoma in several key areas.

One of the school's strengths is its test scores, with 58% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 58% for the district and 51% for the state. In math, 55% of 4th graders at Holmes Park Elementary were proficient or better, outpacing the district's 55% and the state's 40%. However, the school faces challenges related to its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 77.73% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby Freedom Elementary (54.57%) and Lone Star Public School (62.01%).

While Holmes Park Elementary lags behind the high-performing Freedom Elementary in test scores, it outperforms the nearby Liberty Elementary and Angus Valley Elementary in several areas. Additionally, the school's spending per student of $7,594 in 2018-2019 is lower than the nearby Liberty Elementary ($9,290) and Lone Star Public School ($6,505), indicating that the school may be operating with fewer resources compared to some of its peers.

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.
