Jenks East Elementary School

Summary:

Jenks East Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Jenks School District in Jenks, Oklahoma, with a total enrollment of 1,427 students. While the school has been consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools by SchoolDigger, with a 1-star rating in recent years, a closer look at the data reveals some key insights about the school's performance and challenges.

One of the primary areas of concern is the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores. Jenks East Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Jenks district and the state of Oklahoma in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 3rd and 4th grade students. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 52% of 3rd graders and 48% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 59% and 55% for the Jenks district, and 51% and 47% for the state. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 66.78% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is much higher than the Jenks district average and indicates a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Interestingly, within the Jenks district, Jenks East Elementary consistently underperforms compared to Jenks West Elementary, which has higher test scores and a higher SchoolDigger rating. Furthermore, there are several higher-performing elementary schools in the surrounding area, such as Darnaby Elementary (Union district) and Southeast Elementary (Jenks district), which have significantly higher test scores and SchoolDigger ratings than Jenks East Elementary. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Jenks East to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools, while also addressing the unique needs of its student population.

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.
