Garber Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in standardized test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects.

In Mathematics, 53% of 3rd graders, 54% of 4th graders, and 56% of 5th graders were proficient or better, significantly higher than the state averages. Compared to nearby schools like Taft Elementary School, Garber's 5th-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 56% was much higher than Taft's 27%.

Despite having a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 74.64% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Garber Elementary School has been able to support these students and help them achieve academic success. The school's ranking for low-socioeconomic students is particularly impressive, ranking 79 out of 506 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2020-2021. However, the school's relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 20.9 to 23.4 over the past few years, may be a concern and an area the Garber School District may want to address.

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.
