Summary

Scissortail Elementary School is a public elementary school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving 349 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Edmond School District, which is ranked 63 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Scissortail Elementary has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, it faces some challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% to 19.0%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Scissortail's test scores are generally lower than the Edmond district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 26% of Scissortail students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41% in the Edmond district and 26% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.5% to 70.49% in recent years.

However, Scissortail Elementary's performance is not uniform across all areas. The school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students have performed relatively well, ranking 102 out of 502 Oklahoma elementary schools for this subgroup in 2024-2025 and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.6 to 14.8 in recent years, may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges the school faces. While Scissortail's performance is generally lower than nearby schools like Washington Irving Elementary, West Field Elementary, Charles Haskell Elementary, and Angie Debo Elementary, the school's membership in the strong Edmond School District may provide opportunities for improvement.
