Summary

Adelaide Lee Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 555 students in grades PK-4 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which is part of the Oklahoma City School District.

The school faces significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 6% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 15% in Oklahoma City and 26% statewide. In Math, only 8% of students were proficient or better, compared to 12% in Oklahoma City and 26% statewide. Adelaide Lee Elementary also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.3% to 40.2% in recent years, much higher than the state average. The school ranks very low for Hispanic students and English Language Learners, as well as for students of low socioeconomic status.

These issues appear to be systemic within the Oklahoma City School District, as the nearby district elementary schools, such as Fillmore Elementary, Esperanza Elementary, Heronville Elementary, and Cesar Chavez Elementary, also perform poorly. In contrast, the nearby John Rex Charter Elementary and Santa Fe South Shidler Elementary schools significantly outperform the district schools in academic proficiency.
