Kingfisher Upper Elementary

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Kingfisher Upper Elementary is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Kingfisher, Oklahoma, with 269 students and part of the Kingfisher school district. The school consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, indicating a strong academic foundation for its students. While the school had a high chronic absenteeism rate in the past, it has seen significant improvement, dropping to just 2.8% in 2023-2024.

Compared to nearby schools, Kingfisher Upper Elementary generally outperforms Hennessey Upper Elementary School in test scores, particularly in ELA and Science. However, Piedmont Middle School and Piedmont Intermediate Elementary School, which are further away, have higher test scores across all subjects. This suggests that factors beyond just proximity, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and instructional practices, may play a significant role in academic performance.

Kingfisher Upper Elementary serves a population with greater economic needs, with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.85% to 49.07% over the past few years. This is in contrast to the nearby Piedmont schools, which have lower free/reduced lunch rates. While the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio, the available data suggests that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, and other factors may be more influential.
