Silo Elementary School

Summary:

Silo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Durant, Oklahoma, serving 279 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Silo School District, which is ranked 221 out of 295 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Silo Elementary has a unique student population, with a higher percentage of White (56.63%) and Native American (20.07%) students compared to nearby schools. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with higher proficiency rates in 5th grade Mathematics (42%) and Science (40%) but lower rates in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics, as well as 5th grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages. Additionally, Silo Elementary has a high percentage of students (64.16%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 15.9 is lower than the nearby schools, which could be a positive factor.

Silo Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 111 out of 406 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 232 out of 276 in 2022-2023, suggesting the school may be struggling to maintain its academic performance. While the school's White students and students with low socioeconomic status performed relatively well, the school's ranking for students with disabilities was only 18 out of 50 schools, indicating a need for improvement in supporting this student population. Compared to nearby schools like Kingston Elementary and Caddo Elementary, which have higher proficiency rates and stronger statewide rankings, Silo Elementary's performance appears to be lagging.

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.
