Carnegie Elementary consistently outperforms the Tulsa and Oklahoma state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5. In 2023-2024, 46-56% of Carnegie students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 26-28% in Tulsa and 46-51% statewide. In Mathematics, 42-47% of Carnegie students were proficient or better, compared to 15-17% in Tulsa and 37-40% statewide. This academic performance places Carnegie Elementary in the top half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 267 out of 389 in 2023-2024. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined from a high of 16 out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011, suggesting challenges in maintaining its academic excellence over time.

While Carnegie Elementary outperforms the nearby schools in academic metrics, several of the neighboring schools, such as Eliot Elementary and Henry Zarrow International School, also demonstrate strong academic performance. Additionally, schools like Marshall Elementary and McClure Elementary have significantly higher percentages of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, suggesting that Carnegie Elementary may have a more diverse student population in terms of socioeconomic status.

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.
