Elementary Schools in Dale

Summary:

The town of Dale, Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Dale Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and varying proficiency rates across different grades and subjects.

On the positive side, Dale Elementary School has outperformed the state average in mathematics and science, with 39% and 50% of students proficient or better, respectively, compared to the state averages of 26% and 30%.
