Newkirk Elementary School performs better than the state average in mathematics, with 42% of students proficient or better compared to the state average of 26%.

The school also has a high percentage of low socioeconomic status students, ranking 121 out of 506 Oklahoma elementary schools in this category.

Compared to nearby schools, Newkirk Elementary School performs better than the Ponca City schools in mathematics, but lags behind in English Language Arts.

The high percentage of low socioeconomic status students at Newkirk Elementary School suggests the school may be facing additional challenges in supporting student learning and achievement, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower performance in English Language Arts.
