Rosa Parks Elementary School

Summary:

Rosa Parks Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 651 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Union School District, which is ranked 255 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rosa Parks Elementary consistently performs below the Union district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 30-32% of 3rd-5th grade students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 42-46% for the Union district and 46-51% for the state. Similarly, only 15% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 33% for the Union district and 38% for the state. However, the school appears to be doing a relatively better job in supporting certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic and English Language Learner students, compared to its overall ranking.

The school faces significant challenges due to the extremely high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 83.39% to 90.17% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the surrounding Union district schools, such as McAuliffe, Grove, and Boevers Elementary, which also have high percentages of students from low-income families (89-96%) and generally perform below the state average, though not as consistently low as Rosa Parks Elementary.

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.
