Kellyville

The Kellyville school district in Oklahoma serves students from preschool through 12th grade across 4 schools - 2 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While the district faces some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism and lower-than-average test scores, there are also some standout schools that are outperforming the state and local averages.

Kellyville Upper Elementary School is the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 62nd out of 276 Oklahoma elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the Kellyville and Oklahoma averages in several test score categories, including 4th and 5th grade ELA and 6th grade math, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5. In contrast, Kellyville High School has seen a decline in its state ranking over the past few years, with a 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% that is below the state average.

Across the district, schools face challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates, which are significantly higher than the state average, and lower-than-average test scores in many subject areas and grade levels. However, the district's relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 15.2 to 18.7, suggest a focus on smaller class sizes that could be a positive factor in student learning. Additionally, the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.3% at the high school to 79.57% at the upper elementary school, indicate that the district serves a predominantly low-income population, which may present additional challenges in terms of academic support and resources.
