Summary

Central Oak Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 578 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Crooked Oak School District.

Academically, Central Oak Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 25% of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade, with only 21% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 20% in mathematics, significantly below the state averages. The school's performance is also below the district average, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The nearby schools, such as Adelaide Lee Elementary School and Townsend Elementary School, also struggle with low academic achievement, suggesting broader challenges in the area. However, the John Rex Charter Elementary School, located nearby, outperforms the other schools, indicating that innovative approaches may be effective in this community.

Central Oak Elementary School also faces high rates of poverty, with 98.79% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism, ranging from 17.1% to 22.2% over the past few years. These socioeconomic factors may be significant contributors to the school's low academic performance, and addressing these underlying challenges could be crucial in improving student outcomes. Exploring strategies to support students from low-income backgrounds and implement evidence-based practices could help Central Oak Elementary School and the surrounding schools provide a high-quality education for all students.
