Summary

Adams Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Norman, Oklahoma. With a student population of 507, the school is part of the Norman School District, which is ranked 151 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Norman district, Adams Elementary consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 35% in the Norman district and 26% statewide. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.7% to 19.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Adams Elementary ranks in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools, with a ranking as low as 459 out of 614 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.

Compared to nearby elementary schools in the Norman district, such as Lincoln, Monroe, Eisenhower, and Cleveland Elementary, Adams Elementary is significantly underperforming, with lower academic proficiency rates, higher chronic absenteeism, and poorer rankings. The data suggests that Adams Elementary may require targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by its student population and improve its overall performance.
