Scissortail Elementary School

Summary:

Scissortail Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 349 students. The school is part of the Edmond School District, which is ranked 101 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Scissortail Elementary has struggled compared to other schools in the Edmond district and the state of Oklahoma. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 285 out of 389 elementary schools in the state, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Edmond district and state averages. This may be partly due to the school's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (70.49%), suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population.

However, Scissortail Elementary's smaller class size, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.6, could be an advantage, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. Nearby Washington Irving Elementary, West Field Elementary, Charles Haskell Elementary, and Angie Debo Elementary generally perform better academically, with higher proficiency rates and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. The Deer Creek School District also has schools, such as Grove Valley Elementary, that outperform Scissortail Elementary academically.

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.
