Will Rogers Elementary School

Summary:

Will Rogers Elementary School is a public elementary school in Shawnee, Oklahoma, serving around 400 students in grades 1-5. The school is part of the Shawnee School District, which is ranked 133 out of 144 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Will Rogers Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 345 out of 389 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is significantly lower than the state average and the performance of nearby schools like Sequoyah Elementary and Bethel Elementary. The school also has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75-79% over the past few years, much higher than the state average and nearby schools. Will Rogers Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the state and district averages.

The school's performance has steadily declined over the years, from a high of 3 stars out of 5 in 2009-2010 to just 1 star in the most recent year. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic standards and performance of other schools in the state. Addressing the school's unique challenges, such as the high poverty levels and resource constraints, may be necessary to improve student achievement and close the gaps with the surrounding higher-performing schools.

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.
