Arrowhead Elementary School

Summary:

Arrowhead Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, with 423 students. The school is part of the Broken Arrow school district, which is ranked 266 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Arrowhead Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past several years, with a current ranking of 355 out of 389 schools.

Arrowhead Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Broken Arrow district and the state of Oklahoma in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 51% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 53% for Broken Arrow and the state. In math, only 42% of 3rd graders were proficient, compared to 40% for Broken Arrow and 38% for the state. Additionally, Arrowhead Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching almost 75% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the nearby schools in the Broken Arrow district.

Despite having higher spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby Broken Arrow schools, such as Country Lane Intermediate and Lynn Wood Elementary, Arrowhead Elementary has not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates and utilizes its resources to better support student learning and address the root causes of its underperformance.

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.

I absolutely LOVE Arrowhead and I'm so glad I put my kids there. Yes, PUT them there. I wanted them out of TPS and made the decision to move them to BA schools. What a difference!! The classes aren't so full that they're overflowing. The teachers are really nice and willing to help. The staff in general are very friendly, and the principal is literally the most amazing person in education I'm ever met. She will not be there next year but the new principal is an amazing replacement. I've never seen a school go so far out of there way to help the kids learn, and not just in the usual ways. They do creative, fun things that break out of the same old box that bores kids. The have events that pull the entire school together, have weekly inspirational quotes; they have a "wedding" for the letters Q & U so the kindergartners remember they always go together, they reward classes with a golden abacus for the one who does the best in math (an on-going competition) and many, MANY other ways of grabbing the kids' attentions. They also make it very easy for parents to be involved and do not shut them out in ANY way. Your kids are CARED ABOUT here!! Close Quote

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.
