Summary

Del City Elementary School serves 500 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Del City, within the Midwest City-Del City district. Its results are below district and state levels in every tested subject. In 2025–2026, students scored 9% in English Language Arts (ELA), 9% in math and 12% in science, compared with district scores of 17%, 16% and 19%, and state scores of 26%, 25% and 30%. The most important finding is that achievement is low across all three subjects, not just in one area.

Math is the school’s relative bright spot, though it still trails nearby, district and state results. Its math score was 7 points below the district and 16 points below the state; science was furthest behind the state, at 18 points lower. Nearby schools with comparable scores averaged 14% in ELA, 15% in math and 18% in science, putting Del City about 5, 6 and 6 points below those averages. Fifth-grade ELA stands out as a particular concern: Del City scored 7%, versus 22% for the district, 28% for the state and an 18% average among nearby schools serving fifth grade. Fifth-grade math was also low at 8%, but closer to the nearby average of 10%.

ELA and science improved in the latest year, while math slipped: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose from 6% to 9% and science from 6% to 12%, while math fell from 10% to 9%. The science gap to the state narrowed from 24 to 18 points, but remains substantial. SchoolDigger ranks Del City in the 5th statewide percentile and gives it 0 stars (rank 597 of 626); its percentile was 1 in 2023–2024. The student-teacher ratio, 16.8 in 2024–2025, is below the nearby-school average of 17.6, but results remain below nearby averages. The 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 69%, compared with a 64% nearby-school average; this is context, not an explanation for achievement. Chronic absenteeism also rose sharply, from 18% in 2024–2025 to 30% in 2025–2026, above the district’s 28% and state’s 16%.

Open Quote 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
