Okmulgee Primary Elementary School

Summary:

Okmulgee Primary Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, with 523 students. The school is part of the Okmulgee school district, which is ranked 329 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Okmulgee Primary Elementary School has a statewide ranking of 354 out of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools and a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2023-2024 school year.

Okmulgee Primary Elementary School faces significant challenges, including low test scores, with only 49% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 30% of 3rd graders and 27% of 4th graders proficient or better in math, compared to state averages. The school also has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 95.41% in 2023-2024. While the school's spending per student of $8,624 in 2018-2019 is higher than some nearby schools, such as Liberty Elementary ($6,951) and Preston Elementary ($6,647), it is lower than others like Twin Hills Public School ($9,359).

Interestingly, while Okmulgee Primary Elementary School struggles with low test scores and high poverty rates, some nearby schools, such as Beggs Elementary and Morris Elementary, perform significantly better on state assessments and have lower free and reduced lunch rates. This suggests that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the school's poor performance. Despite the challenges, the data indicates that there are opportunities for Okmulgee Primary Elementary School to improve and learn from the successes of nearby high-performing schools.

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.
