Summary

Vandever Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 453. The school is part of the Broken Arrow School District, which is ranked 211 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Vandever Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's performance, as measured by its statewide school ranking, has declined over the years, dropping from a ranking of 192 out of 406 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2017-2018 to a ranking of 304 out of 614 in 2024-2025. When compared to nearby schools in the Broken Arrow district, such as Wolf Creek Elementary and Leisure Park Elementary, Vandever Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism rates.

The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Vandever Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing these underlying issues could be crucial in improving the school's overall outcomes and helping it keep up with the performance of other elementary schools in the Broken Arrow district and the state of Oklahoma.
