Garfield Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades were significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 85.14% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. As a result, Garfield Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 320 out of 389 schools in the 2023-2024 school year.

When comparing Garfield Elementary School to other nearby schools in the Sand Springs district, it becomes evident that Garfield is one of the lower-performing schools. For example, Limestone Elementary School and Angus Valley Elementary School have higher academic performance, higher school rankings, and lower percentages of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. However, Garfield Elementary School's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.6 in the 2023-2024 school year could be an asset that the school can leverage to improve student outcomes through more individualized attention and targeted interventions.

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.
