Summary

Washington Elementary School serves 487 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade in Norman, Oklahoma. Its latest results are above state and district averages in all three tested subjects, and its clearest academic strength is math: 52% of students were proficient, the highest result among seven nearby same-district elementary schools.

Math is where Washington stands out most: its 52% proficiency rate was 22 percentage points above Norman and 27 points above the state; nearby peer schools averaged 34%. ELA proficiency was 38%, 5 points above the district and 12 above the state, ranking second among nearby peers. Science was also above both benchmarks, at 46%—7 points above the district and 16 above the state—but it is Washington’s relative weak spot: it ranked fifth among nearby schools, whose average was 42%, and four schools scored higher.

Scores declined from 2024–25 to 2025–26: ELA fell 8 points, math 4 and science 3, though Washington remained above district and state results. SchoolDigger rated the school at the 89th percentile with 4 stars in 2025–26, tied for the highest nearby percentile; its percentile rose from 57 in 2023–24 to 93 in 2024–25 before easing. Context includes a 14.0 student-teacher ratio in 2024–25 and 46.8% of students free/reduced lunch eligible that year, below the nearby-school average of 63.4%. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile for Low Socio Economic Status Students was 83 in 2023–24, compared with 57 overall, indicating notably stronger relative standing for that group that year. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 30.3% in 2021–22 to 10.6% in 2025–26, below the district’s 11.7% and state’s 15.9%.
