General Thomas P Stafford Elementary

Summary:

General Thomas P Stafford Elementary is a public elementary school in Weatherford, Oklahoma, serving 524 students in grades 2-4. While the school has some strengths, it faces challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other schools in the region.

The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally on par with the Weatherford district average, but lag behind the state average. For example, in 2022-2023, only 27% of 3rd-grade students were proficient in ELA, compared to 29% statewide, and 44% were proficient in Math, compared to 34% statewide. The school's 4th-grade Math proficiency rate of 29% is also lower than the state average of 35%. Additionally, the school has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 56th out of 498 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 220th out of 276 in 2022-2023.

Compared to nearby schools, General Thomas P Stafford Elementary performs similarly to the Weatherford district average, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified District and Arapaho-Butler District, such as Thomas Elementary School and Arapaho-Butler Elementary School, which had significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. The school also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.33%) compared to the state average, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

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.
