Clark Elementary School

Summary:

Clark Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tulsa, Oklahoma, serving 429 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Union School District, which is ranked 255 out of 342 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Clark Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 334 out of 389 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating.

Clark Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 49% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 46% in the Union district and 51% statewide. In 5th-grade math, only 19% of students were proficient or better, compared to 32% in the Union district and 37% statewide. Additionally, Clark Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 95.57% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

While Clark Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, some of the nearby schools in the Tulsa Public Schools district also struggle with low test scores and rankings. This suggests that the challenges facing Clark Elementary may be part of a broader trend in the local area, rather than being unique to the school. The relatively low student-teacher ratio at Clark Elementary could be an asset, but the school's consistently low performance indicates that additional strategies and interventions may be needed to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's challenges.

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.
