Charter Oak-Ute Elementary School

Summary:

Charter Oak-Ute Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 128 students in grades PK-5 in Charter Oak, Iowa, which is part of the Charter Oak-Ute Community School District. The school has consistently performed well in mathematics, with proficiency rates above the state average across all grade levels. However, its performance in English Language Arts has been more variable, with some grades performing above the state average and others below.

Despite its strong mathematics performance, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 93 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 502 out of 603 in 2018-2019. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.78% to 59.38% over the past three school years, which is higher than some nearby schools like Mapleton Elementary (59.17%) and Schleswig Elementary (43.48%), but lower than Broadway Elementary (64.77%) and Denison Elementary (60.36%).

One interesting finding is that Charter Oak-Ute Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.6 to 11.2 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby schools like Broadway Elementary (17.0) and Denison Elementary (12.5), indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students. However, the school's overall performance and ranking within the state suggest that continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve its educational outcomes.

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.
