Arthur Elementary School

Arthur Elementary School serves 445 prekindergarten-through-grade-4 students in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its 2025–2026 results show a sharp difference between subjects and grade levels: mathematics is a standout, while ELA—especially in grade 4—is the clearest concern.

In all grades combined, Arthur had 30% proficiency in mathematics, ahead of the state at 25%, the Oklahoma City district at 14%, and the nearby PK–4 schools’ average of about 13%. It led all eight nearby schools in both subjects. ELA proficiency was 18%: above the district’s 15% and the nearby average of about 8%, but below the state’s 26%. Results vary sharply by grade: grade 3 reached 32% in ELA and 41% in math, while grade 4 ELA was just 7%, compared with 22% statewide; grade 4 math was 22%, below the state’s 33% but above the district’s 19%.

Both subjects fell from the prior year: ELA declined 7 points, from 25% to 18%, and math fell 12 points, from 42% to 30%. Chronic absenteeism improved by 14 points, from 35% to 22%, but remained above the state’s 16%.
