Elementary Schools in Wayne

The Wayne Elementary School is the sole elementary school located in Wayne, Oklahoma. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in the lower grades but challenges in maintaining proficiency as students progress to the upper grades, particularly in science.

Wayne Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, currently standing at 257 out of 614 schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In terms of academic proficiency, the school's performance is above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades, but falls below the state average in 5th grade and overall. Notably, the school's science proficiency is significantly below the state average for 5th grade and overall, which could be an area of focus for improvement.

The school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 69.16% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. While the low student-teacher ratio suggests adequate staffing resources, the school's per-student spending of $7,842 in 2018-2019 may indicate a need for additional funding and resources to address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
