Summary

Del City Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Del City, Oklahoma, with an enrollment of 516 students. The school is part of the Midwest City-Del City school district, which is ranked 359 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Del City Elementary School consistently performs significantly below the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 6-10% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, compared to 14-26% for the Midwest City-Del City district and 26-30% for the state of Oklahoma. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.2% to 31.8% in recent years, much higher than the state average. Additionally, 68.99% of the students at Del City Elementary qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby schools in the Midwest City-Del City district, such as Cleveland Bailey Elementary, Country Estates Elementary, and Midwest City Elementary, also perform below the state averages, they generally do better than Del City Elementary. However, when compared to schools in the Crooked Oak and Oklahoma City districts, which serve similarly high-poverty student populations, Del City Elementary and the other Midwest City-Del City schools still perform worse academically, suggesting that factors beyond just socioeconomic status may be contributing to the low performance.

This is the school where a first grade teacher's negligence was responsible for a 6 or 7 year old Native student being bullied to the extent that the bullies slashed off the boy's hair while the teacher was in the classroom doing "me time" on her computer. And not only was no action taken on it, she's still employed there! Close Quote
