Byng Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Byng Elementary School is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Ada, Oklahoma, with a student population of 394. The school is part of the Byng school district and has a student-teacher ratio of 15.2 and a free/reduced lunch rate of 58.38% in the 2023-2024 school year.

Byng Elementary School performs better than the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. In 2024-2025, 34% of Byng students were proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 26%, and 34% were proficient or better in Math compared to the state average of 26%. Byng's 4th grade students performed particularly well, with 42% proficient or better in ELA and 59% in Math. However, the school has seen fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.9% to 19.0% over the past few years, with the 2024-2025 rate of 19.0% being higher than the state average.

Byng Elementary outperforms its feeder school, Byng Junior High, in both ELA and Math test scores. The school also generally performs better than the other nearby middle schools, such as Stratford Middle School and Konowa Junior High School, which have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, despite having higher spending per student than the nearby schools, Byng Elementary's performance is not significantly better than the higher-performing schools in the area, such as McLish Middle School and Latta Middle School, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may play a more significant role in student outcomes.
