Summary:
The Commerce school district in Oklahoma consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals some standout schools and key insights about the district's academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation.
Commerce High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 164 out of 431 Oklahoma high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% and spends more per student ($11,397) compared to the other schools. In contrast, Commerce Middle School struggles the most, with only 10-13% proficiency in English Language Arts and 8-12% proficiency in Mathematics across all grades.
Across the district, the schools generally underperform the state averages on standardized tests, with the exception of Alexander Elementary School, which performs better than the district and state averages on 3rd grade Mathematics. However, Alexander Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 365 out of 389 in 2023-2024 to 408 out of 614 in 2024-2025, with its star rating declining from 0 to 2. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is higher than the state average across all schools, and ensuring equitable access to resources for the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students could be key priorities for the district.
