Byng Junior High School

Summary:

Byng Junior High School is a public middle school located in Ada, Oklahoma, serving grades 7-9 with a total enrollment of 361 students. The school's performance on state standardized tests has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 43rd out of 171 Oklahoma middle schools in 2021-2022 to 123rd out of 189 in 2023-2024.

While the school's overall performance has been mixed, there are some notable differences in how different student subgroups perform. For the 2020-2021 school year, Byng Junior High School ranked 56th out of 75 Oklahoma middle schools for Native American students, 80th out of 257 for White students, and 173rd out of 278 for students with low socioeconomic status. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have also been inconsistent compared to state averages, suggesting a need to focus on improving academic performance across all subject areas.

When comparing Byng Junior High School to nearby schools, some interesting findings emerge. For example, Byng Elementary School, located just 0.2 miles away, has generally higher test scores than the junior high school, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, Stratford Middle School, located 17.18 miles away, has consistently higher rankings and test scores than Byng Junior High School. These comparisons suggest that the academic performance may decline as students transition from elementary to middle school, and that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in the region.

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.
