Elementary Schools in Commerce

Summary:

The Commerce school district in Oklahoma has only one elementary school, Alexander Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 468 students.

Alexander Elementary School's performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 365th out of 389 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 562nd out of 646 in 2020-2021, with its current ranking for 2024-2025 at 408th out of 614 schools. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.0%, which is higher than the state average.

The data suggests that Alexander Elementary School is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school's low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors, such as a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 85.47% in 2023-2024, indicate that targeted interventions and additional resources may be needed to improve student outcomes. The school's per-student spending of $7,871 for the 2018-2019 school year is relatively low compared to the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance.
