Byng Elementary School

Summary:

Byng Elementary School is a public middle school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 394 students. The school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts and Mathematics across grades 4-6, with particularly strong results in 5th grade ELA and 4th grade Mathematics.

Byng Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates, generally exceeds that of its nearby counterparts, such as Byng Junior High School and the schools in the Ada and Stonewall districts. For example, Byng Elementary's 6th grade ELA proficiency rate of 45% is significantly higher than the 24% at Byng Junior High School and the 31% at Willard Elementary (Ada district).

However, Byng Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.37% to 58.38% over the past few years, suggesting that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges. This may contribute to the academic performance gap between Byng Elementary and the state averages, as research has shown that socioeconomic status can be a significant factor in student achievement. Despite these challenges, Byng Elementary's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools may indicate a focus on providing additional resources and support to students.

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.
