Q: Is Lanier Elementary School a good school?

Lanier Elementary School ranks 268 th of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lanier Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 310 students in grades PK-5. Despite being part of the Tulsa school district, which is ranked 246 out of 342 districts in the state, Lanier Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects.

In the 2023-2024 school year, 63% of 5th-grade students at Lanier Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 27% in Tulsa and 46% statewide. In 4th-grade math, 49% of Lanier students were proficient or better, compared to 15% in Tulsa and 40% statewide. This academic success is particularly noteworthy given that 71.61% of Lanier's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average.

While Lanier Elementary outperforms the district and state, it is not the highest-performing school in the immediate vicinity. Schools like Henry Zarrow International School and Council Oak Elementary have consistently higher test scores and statewide rankings, despite serving similar socioeconomic populations. Additionally, Lanier's performance has fluctuated over the years, suggesting that factors beyond the school's own efforts may influence its success.

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.
