With 325 students, Cotteral consistently underperforms compared to the district and state, ranking 403 out of 614 Oklahoma elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

Cotteral Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, with only 19% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 28% proficient in Math, compared to 25% and 23% in the Guthrie district, respectively. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19-22.5%, much higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby elementary schools, such as Charter Oak, Fogarty, and Central, Cotteral performs worse on most metrics, including test scores and chronic absenteeism.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student, Cotteral's performance has remained stagnant over the past decade, indicating the need for a comprehensive review of resource allocation and instructional strategies.
