Ator Elementary School

Q: Is Ator Elementary School a good school?

Ator Elementary School ranks 218 th of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Ator Elementary School is a public elementary school in Owasso, Oklahoma, serving 377 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Owasso school district, which is ranked 116 out of 342 districts in the state.

Ator Elementary has shown mixed performance on state assessments compared to the Owasso district and the state of Oklahoma. In the most recent year, Ator's 3rd-5th grade students performed better than the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but lower than the Owasso district average. However, Ator's performance has been inconsistent in previous years, with some grades and subjects performing above the state and district, while others lagging behind. The school's spending per student ($7,658 in 2018-2019) is slightly lower than the spending at nearby Owasso schools, which ranged from $7,013 to $8,001 per student. Ator also has a lower student-teacher ratio (14.7 in 2023-2024) compared to the other Owasso schools, which range from 16 to 18.2 students per teacher.

One notable difference is that Ator Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (81.17% in 2023-2024) compared to the other nearby schools in the Owasso district, which range from 30.93% to 54.9%. This suggests Ator serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may present unique challenges in terms of student support and resources needed to help these students succeed academically.

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.
