Summary:

The city of Buffalo, Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Buffalo Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance and characteristics provide a mixed picture, with some areas of concern and others that suggest potential strengths.

Buffalo Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from a high of 178 out of 646 schools in 2020-2021 to a low of 675 out of 846 schools in 2010-2011. This inconsistency in performance is reflected in the school's proficiency rates, which are all below the state average in OSTP/English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science for the 2024-2025 school year. The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 67.46% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

On a positive note, Buffalo Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 for the 2023-2024 school year, which could provide more individualized attention for students. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0% for the 2024-2025 school year is a significant concern, as high rates of chronic absenteeism can negatively impact student learning and academic achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Buffalo Elementary School faces challenges in academic performance and attendance, but also has some potential strengths that could be leveraged to improve student outcomes.
