Summary

Brushy Public School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, with 363 students. The school is part of the Brushy District, which is ranked 292 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Brushy Public School has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the years, ranging from 200 out of 845 schools in 2009-2010 (4-star rating) to 418 out of 614 schools in 2024-2025 (2-star rating).

Brushy Public School consistently underperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 19% of Brushy students were proficient in ELA and Math, compared to the state average of 26%. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.4% to 19.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state's target of 5% or less. Additionally, Brushy Public School serves a high-poverty student population, with 88.43% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of around 60%.

Brushy Public School's performance lags behind many of the nearby schools, such as Liberty Public School, Muldrow Elementary School, and Eastside Elementary School, which have higher academic proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Despite the higher spending per student at Brushy Public School, the school's academic outcomes are still lagging, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate how it allocates its resources to better support student learning.
