Summary

Oklahoma Connections Academy Elementary School is a public charter virtual elementary school serving 407 students in grades PK-5 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The school is part of the Oklahoma Connections Academy (Charter) District, which is ranked 231 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Despite being a virtual school, Oklahoma Connections Academy Elementary School has consistently struggled, with very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19% to 0.9% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the nearby Dewey Elementary, Woodrow Wilson Elementary, and Wayside Elementary schools, which have chronic absenteeism rates around 19%. Additionally, the school's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across all grades and subjects, with only 16% of students proficient or better in ELA and 10% in Math, compared to 26% and 26% statewide, respectively.

The school also serves a higher proportion of low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 399 out of 502 Oklahoma elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025. Despite these challenges, the school has not shown any meaningful improvement in its performance metrics over the past several years, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking of 511 out of 614 in 2024-2025 and a 1-star rating. These findings suggest that the virtual model may be particularly challenging for disadvantaged students, and the school's struggles warrant further investigation and potential intervention.

A great alternative to brick and mortar public school. The teachers and staff care about the success of your child! The curriculum is not one-size-fits-all. It's 21st century learning! Close Quote
