Summary:

Hayward Smith Elementary School is a public elementary school in Owasso, Oklahoma, serving 408 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.

Academically, Hayward Smith Elementary has shown a mixed performance compared to the Owasso district and the state of Oklahoma. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were generally lower than the Owasso district average, but higher than the state average. For example, in 5th grade English Language Arts, Hayward Smith had a 68% proficiency rate, compared to 58% for Owasso and 46% for Oklahoma. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 53rd out of 846 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2010-2011 to 159th out of 389 in 2023-2024.

One notable change at Hayward Smith Elementary is the significant increase in its free/reduced lunch rate, from 29.9% in 2021-2022 to 54.9% in 2023-2024, suggesting an increasing proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. When compared to the nearby Pamela Hodson Elementary, which is just 1.62 miles away, Hayward Smith has consistently underperformed in academic metrics and has a higher free/reduced lunch rate. These comparisons suggest that there may be opportunities for Hayward Smith to learn from the practices of higher-performing schools in the area.

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.
