Summary

Frink-Chambers Public School serves 388 students in pre-K through eighth grade in the McAlester area. Its most important strength is science: in 2025–2026, 72% of students were proficient, 42 percentage points above Oklahoma’s 30% rate and the highest result among nearby PK–8 schools with reported scores.

Overall, the school also stands out in math and does well in English language arts (ELA), though the results vary by grade. Math proficiency was 44%, compared with 25% statewide and a nearby-school average of 26%; it was the highest nearby result, just above Savanna Elementary School at 43%. But third-grade math was a clear weakness: 18%, 15 points below the state rate. ELA was 42%, 16 points above the state and 15 points above the nearby-school average; only Haywood Public School scored higher among nearby PK–8 schools. The school’s all-grade scores match the Frink-Chambers district exactly, so they are a tie, not an advantage over the district.

Recent results moved in different directions: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 4 points, math rose 4 points, and science rose 1 point. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 87th percentile statewide, with 4 stars and a rank of 83 out of 626. In 2024–2025, its student-teacher ratio was 14.2, and 61% of students were eligible for free/reduced lunch. SchoolDigger’s 2020–2021 effectiveness ranking was notably higher for Low Socio Economic Status Students, at the 93rd percentile, than for the school overall, at the 72nd percentile; its ranking for White Students was lower, at the 49th percentile. These subgroup rankings are a one-year snapshot, not a measure of change over time.
