Summary:

Kiefer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Kiefer, Oklahoma, with around 550 students. The school is part of the Kiefer School District, which is ranked 226 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kiefer Elementary has shown mixed performance on state standardized tests compared to the state average. In 2023-2024, the school had 59% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 38% of 6th graders proficient or better in Math, both above the state averages. However, the school has struggled in other grade levels and subjects, with only 46% of 6th graders proficient in ELA and 25% of 3rd graders proficient in Math, both below the state averages. The school's performance is mixed compared to nearby schools, as it outperforms some schools like Jenks East Elementary but lags behind higher-performing schools like Freedom Elementary in Sapulpa, which has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state.

Kiefer Elementary's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (47.82% free/reduced lunch) is notable, especially when compared to nearby schools like West Elementary in Bixby, which has only 19.02% of students receiving free/reduced lunch. This suggests Kiefer may face additional challenges in supporting its student population. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated over the years, ranging from a high of 90 out of 498 schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 257 out of 646 schools in 2020-2021, indicating the school has struggled to maintain consistent 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.
