Vinita Elementary School

Summary:

Vinita Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 595 students in grades PK-5 in Vinita, Oklahoma, which is part of the Vinita School District. The school has a diverse student population, with 43.19% White, 24.2% Native American, and 24.03% two or more races.

Vinita Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics significantly lower than the state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rate was 44% in 3rd grade ELA (vs. 51% state) and just 23% in 3rd grade Math (vs. 38% state). Additionally, Vinita Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 70.42% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state average. As a result, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 357 out of 389 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Vinita Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of nearby schools, such as Fairland Elementary, Bernita Hughes Elementary, and Ketchum Elementary, the school ranks highly (15th out of 79 schools) for its Native American students. This suggests that there may be opportunities to improve outcomes for other student subgroups by identifying and replicating the strategies that have been successful for this population.

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.
