Summary

Dewey Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Dewey, Oklahoma, with a student population of 578. The school is part of the Dewey School District, which is ranked 280 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dewey Elementary School has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with 33% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics in 2024-2025, slightly above the state average of 26%. However, the school's performance in specific grade levels and subject areas varies, and its statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from a high of 73 out of 957 schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 377 out of 646 in 2020-2021. The school has also experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.2% to 19.0% in recent years, which is higher than the state's average.

When compared to nearby schools, Dewey Elementary School generally performs better than the lower-performing Copan Elementary School, but lags behind the higher-performing schools in the Bartlesville district, such as Wayside Elementary and Woodrow Wilson Elementary. The nearby schools also appear to have higher per-student spending, which may contribute to their stronger academic performance.
