Summary
Tony Goetz Elementary School serves 408 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Muskogee, Oklahoma, within the Muskogee district. Its 2025–2026 results vary sharply by subject: English Language Arts I proficiency was 19%, math was 13%, and science was 41%. The most important takeaway is that science is a clear strength, while math is the school’s biggest academic weakness.
Science is a standout compared with the district, state, and nearby schools: 41% of students were proficient, versus 30% statewide and 22% in the district, and the result was 18 points above the nearby same-district schools’ 23% average. Math was less strong: 13% proficiency was 12 points below the state, 6 below the district, and 4 below nearby peers’ average. English Language Arts I was 19%, below the state’s 26% and the district’s 22%, but above nearby peers’ 16% average. Fifth grade illustrates the variation: its English proficiency was 32%, higher than the state and district, while its math proficiency was just 7%, compared with 28% statewide and 19% in the district.
Recent trends are mixed but include gains in science and math: science rose from 33% to 41% between 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, math edged up from 12% to 13%, and English stayed at 19%. Chronic absenteeism increased from 16% to 20% over those years; the latest rate was 4 points above the state’s. SchoolDigger ranked the school 440th of 626 Oklahoma schools, at the 30th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–2026; its percentile improved from 17 in 2023–2024. In 2024–2025, 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible; the student-teacher ratio was 17.7, slightly below nearby peers’ 18.4 average. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also differed from the overall standing: for Multi-racial Students, its 2020–2021 percentile was 10, compared with 31 overall, indicating a lower ranking for how well the school served that group. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the 2023–2024 percentile was 35 versus 17 overall, indicating a higher ranking for serving that group; in 2025–2026, the subgroup percentile was 36 versus 30 overall.
