Summary:
The Merritt school district in Oklahoma is home to a single elementary school, Merritt Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Despite serving a student population with a relatively high percentage of economic disadvantage, Merritt Elementary School has consistently performed at an exceptional level, ranking in the top 15% of all Oklahoma elementary schools.
Merritt Elementary School has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years, indicating strong overall performance. The school outperforms the state average in several key academic areas, including English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates across multiple grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 50% of 3rd graders at Merritt Elementary were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 27%.
While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state would likely prefer, Merritt Elementary School's strong academic performance, low student-teacher ratio, and ability to serve an economically disadvantaged population make it a standout institution in the Merritt district and the state of Oklahoma.
