Vanoss Elementary School

Summary:

Vanoss Elementary School is a public school in Ada, Oklahoma, serving 412 students in grades PK-8 as part of the Ada School District. The school stands out for its strong performance with low-income students, high percentage of Native American enrollment, and consistently high test scores that exceed the state average.

Vanoss Elementary has a higher percentage of Native American students (29.37%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 11.47% to 44.75% Native American enrollment. The school also outperforms the state average in several key test score metrics, including 5th grade math (44% proficient or better vs. 27% statewide) and 5th grade science (48% proficient or better vs. 38% statewide). Additionally, Vanoss ranks 123 out of 506 Oklahoma elementary schools for its performance with low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, earning a 4-star rating in this category.

While Vanoss Elementary's test scores are impressive, its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 154 out of 840 schools in 2008-2009 to 108 out of 276 schools currently. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep pace with improvements at other schools across Oklahoma. Nearby schools like Latta Elementary and Homer Elementary have higher overall rankings and performance, indicating Vanoss could learn from their best practices. Additionally, Vanoss has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.84% to 80.79%, which presents unique challenges and opportunities for the school.

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.
