Valliant Elementary School

Q: Is Valliant Elementary School a good school?

Valliant Elementary School ranks 140 th of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Valliant Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Valliant, Oklahoma, with a student population of 449 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school has a diverse student body, with a significant percentage of Native American (25.84%) and multiracial (16.04%) students, which is not as common in the nearby schools.

Academically, Valliant Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to the state average. While the school outperformed the state in 5th grade English Language Arts, 3rd-5th grade Mathematics, and 5th grade Science, its 3rd grade English Language Arts performance was below the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 140th out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2022-2023 to as low as 364th out of 411 in 2018-2019. This variability suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Lukfata Public School and Holly Creek Public School have consistently outperformed Valliant Elementary in statewide rankings and academic proficiency. This suggests that understanding the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for Valliant Elementary to improve its own performance. Additionally, Valliant Elementary's lower spending per student ($7,643 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $8,129 to $12,025 per student, may indicate a need for additional funding and resources to support the school's academic and social-emotional needs.

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.
