Summary

Heavener Elementary School is a public school in Heavener, Oklahoma, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 551 students. The school is part of the Heavener School District, which is ranked 320 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Heavener Elementary School consistently performs below the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 14% to 34% in ELA, 8% to 25% in Math, and 29% to 43% in Science, compared to the state averages of 21% to 27% in ELA, 17% to 34% in Math, and 30% to 36% in Science. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the years, with no significant improvements observed in its statewide rankings or proficiency rates. However, the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and high chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing factors to its academic struggles.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Poteau Upper Elementary School and Howe Elementary School demonstrate significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Heavener Elementary School to learn from their practices and strategies. Additionally, Heavener Elementary School's relatively high spending per student ($10,631 in 2018-2019) compared to nearby schools like Cameron Elementary School ($7,275) and Fanshawe Public School ($8,408) indicates that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution, and a more comprehensive approach focused on instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership may be necessary to drive sustainable improvements.
