Summary

Orvis Risner Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Edmond, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 559. The school is part of the Edmond School District, which is ranked 63 out of 452 districts in Oklahoma and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Orvis Risner Elementary School has consistently underperformed compared to the Edmond district and the state of Oklahoma in terms of academic proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27%), Mathematics (26%), and Science (31%) were significantly lower than the Edmond district (41%, 40%, and 49% respectively) and the state of Oklahoma (26%, 26%, and 30% respectively). The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% to 20% in recent years, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Orvis Risner Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.61% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Russell Dougherty Elementary School and Chisholm Elementary School, Orvis Risner Elementary School's academic performance lags behind. These nearby schools consistently outperform Orvis Risner in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency rates. While Orvis Risner Elementary School has higher per-student spending than the state average, the school's academic performance still lags behind, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school and district may need to focus on implementing targeted strategies, such as evidence-based instructional practices, addressing chronic absenteeism, and providing additional resources and support for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
