Choctaw Elementary School

Q: Is Choctaw Elementary School a good school?

Choctaw Elementary School ranks 71 st of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Choctaw Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Choctaw, Oklahoma, part of the Choctaw-Nicoma Park School District. With 354 students and a student-teacher ratio of 12.2, Choctaw Elementary consistently outperforms its district and the state of Oklahoma in academic achievement.

In 2023-2024, 76% of 3rd graders at Choctaw Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 62% for the district and 51% for the state. The school has been ranked among the top 18% of elementary schools in Oklahoma, reaching as high as 30th out of 411 schools in 2018-2019. While its current ranking of 71st out of 389 schools represents a decline, Choctaw Elementary still outperforms nearby schools like Griffith Meridian Elementary, Nicoma Park Intermediate Elementary, and L.W. Westfall Elementary in both academic performance and school ranking.

However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 32.75% in 2021-2022 to 56.21% in 2023-2024. This suggests Choctaw Elementary is serving a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require the school and Choctaw-Nicoma Park School District to allocate more resources towards supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of these students to maintain the school's strong performance.

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.
