Etta Dale Junior High School

Summary:

Etta Dale Junior High School is a public middle school located in El Reno, Oklahoma, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 425 students. While the school has a long history of performance, its academic outcomes have consistently ranked in the lower half of Oklahoma middle schools, with its highest ranking being 57 out of 149 schools in the 2022-2023 school year.

Etta Dale Junior High School's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in various OSTP (Oklahoma School Testing Program) assessments, is consistently below the state and El Reno district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (31%), Mathematics (26% for 7th grade, 18% for 8th grade), and Science (31%) are all lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's performance among specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic, White, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is also concerning, with the school ranking significantly lower compared to other middle schools in the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Piedmont Intermediate Elementary School and Piedmont Middle School, which are part of the higher-performing Piedmont school district, Etta Dale Junior High School's academic performance appears significantly weaker. Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student, the academic outcomes do not seem to reflect this investment, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational practices and resource allocation to improve student learning and achievement.

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.
