Summary

Art Goad Elementary School enrolls 377 students in prekindergarten through grade 5 in Chelsea, Oklahoma, and is part of the Chelsea district, which SchoolDigger ranks in the 11th percentile statewide. In 2025–2026, Art Goad students were proficient in 15% of English Language Arts (ELA), 18% of mathematics, and 27% of science—below state averages in all three subjects. The most important takeaway is that results are below state levels across the board, with mathematics particularly weak compared with nearby schools.

Science is the school’s strongest subject relative to its district and the state, while mathematics is its weakest nearby comparison. Art Goad’s science proficiency was 27%, 6 points above the district and 3 points below the state; its nearby-school average was 35%. Mathematics was 18%, 5 points above the district but 7 points below the state and 8 points below the nearby average. ELA was 15%, equal to the district and 11 points below the state; the nearby average was 19%. Grade-level results also vary: third-grade ELA was 9%, the lowest among seven nearby schools with results, and fourth-grade mathematics was 14%, second-lowest among eight. Fourth-grade ELA was closer to the state result: 20% versus 22%.

Scores have improved modestly since 2024–2025: ELA rose from 11% to 15%, mathematics stayed at 18%, and science rose from 26% to 27%; the state gap narrowed in each subject. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking rose from the 20th to the 23rd percentile, but the school remains at 1 star. Chronic absenteeism rose by 5 points, from 15% in 2024–2025 to 20% in 2025–2026, above the latest state and district rates. In 2024–2025, 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and the student-teacher ratio was 16.9, compared with a nearby average of 14.9. A notable subgroup change in SchoolDigger’s statewide measure was for Native American students: the school ranked in the 27th percentile in 2020–2021, then the 0th percentile in 2022–2023 (35th of 35); its overall ranking in 2020–2021 was in the 9th percentile. The figures show a sharp shift in this measure, but not what caused it.
