Summary

John Ross Elementary School is a public elementary school in Edmond, Oklahoma, serving 670 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the highly-ranked Edmond School District, which is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

John Ross Elementary consistently performs well on state assessments, with a higher percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the Edmond and Oklahoma state averages. The school has maintained a strong statewide ranking, consistently placing in the top 15% of Oklahoma elementary schools and earning a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's ranking for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is lower than its overall ranking, suggesting a need to focus on supporting this student population. Additionally, John Ross has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism in recent years, reaching 19% in the 2024-2025 school year.

Comparing John Ross Elementary to other nearby schools in the Edmond district reveals some interesting patterns. Heritage Elementary and Centennial Elementary consistently outperform John Ross on state assessments and have higher overall rankings. Conversely, Sunset Elementary and Ida Freeman Elementary struggle significantly compared to John Ross and other Edmond schools, with much lower proficiency rates and rankings. These trends suggest that factors beyond just per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, which are similar across the district, may be contributing to the academic success of these schools.
