Better than 90% of Oklahoma elementary schools

Summary

Wayside Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 5 in Bartlesville and enrolls 696 students, the largest enrollment among the nearby schools listed. Its 2025–26 proficiency rates were 38% in English language arts (ELA), 57% in math, and 56% in science. The key takeaway is that Wayside performs well above state and district averages in all three subjects, and leads nearby schools in ELA and math.

Math is Wayside’s strongest subject compared with the state, district, and nearby-school averages: its 57% proficiency rate is 32 points above the state, 24 above the Bartlesville district, and 25 points above the nearby PK–5 average of 32%. ELA is a relative weak spot, though still above every comparison: Wayside’s 38% is 12 points above the state, 7 above the district, and 14 above the nearby average. Science proficiency is 56%, 26 points above both state and district rates and 24 above the nearby average; Wayside ranks second among nearby schools in science. Its grade-level results suggest ELA’s relative weakness is more concentrated in grade 3: proficiency is 32% there, compared with 41% in grade 4 and 42% in grade 5.

Results have shifted over the two years reported: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 45% to 38%, math rose from 55% to 57%, and science climbed from 46% to 56%; the test data cover only these two years. SchoolDigger gives Wayside a 90th-percentile statewide rank and 5 stars in 2025–26, down from the 93rd percentile the year before, but still the highest current percentile among nearby schools with a rank. In 2024–25, its student–teacher ratio was 16.2, above the 11.7–14.9 range at nearby Bartlesville peers; 35% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s 2020–21 ranking for Multi-racial Students was at the 35th percentile (rank 33 of 51, 2 stars), compared with Wayside’s overall 96th percentile that year—a notably lower measured standing for this group. Its Low Socio Economic Status Students ranking also fell 13 points, from the 90th percentile in 2024–25 to the 77th in 2025–26.
