Summary

Taft Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Enid, Oklahoma. With 305 students enrolled, Taft Elementary faces several challenges that contribute to its relatively low academic performance compared to other schools in the Enid School District and the state of Oklahoma.

Taft Elementary's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the Enid and Oklahoma state averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 19% of Taft students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 23% in Enid and 26% statewide. In math, only 16% of Taft students were proficient, compared to 21% in Enid and 26% statewide. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.5% to 19% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Taft Elementary has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 70-81% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Prairie View Elementary, which ranked 38th out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools in 2024-2025, Taft Elementary's academic performance is significantly lower. Other nearby schools, like Hoover Elementary and Glenwood Elementary, also outperformed Taft Elementary on these metrics. Targeted interventions and support to address the school's challenges, as well as a closer examination of its instructional practices and resource allocation, may be necessary to improve Taft Elementary's academic outcomes.
