Summary

In Oklahoma City, John Rex Charter Elementary School serves 810 students in PK–8, the largest enrollment among the nearby schools listed. Its 2025–26 results were above the state in ELA, math and science, with science standing out most: 49% of students were proficient, 19 percentage points above the state.

Science is also John Rex’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: its 49% result was just below Western Gateway Elementary School at 50%, and well above the 24% average among nearby schools with reported results. John Rex ranked second among nearby schools with scores in ELA and math, with 30% proficient in ELA and 34% in math; in math, Western Gateway led at 40%. The school was above the state in all three subjects, while its supplied results matched those of the John Rex Charter School district.

I have watched my twins thrive here, even with the pandemic. I highly recommend this school. Close Quote

Everything is manipulated at this school for ratings. They say 0 tolerance for bullying, kids are getting bullied by the same group of kids. Principal Duffy is aware but doesn’t give any punishment for the behavior. I’ve spoke to a handful of parents who strongly feel the same way and have had same experiences with their own children. Some of these parents have went to the Dean Ketchum also and nothing was done. Sad. This organization is more worried about their reputation rather than the safety of the students. Close Quote
