Summary

Prairie Queen Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 575 students in grades PK-4 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade, with its highest ranking being 457 out of 498 schools in 2015-2016.

Prairie Queen Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 19% to 38.8% in recent years, which is much higher than the Oklahoma City and state averages. Academically, only 10% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 15% for Oklahoma City and 26% for the state. In math, 14% were proficient or better, compared to 12% for Oklahoma City and 26% for the state. Additionally, Prairie Queen has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 96.7% to 97.57% in recent years, much higher than the surrounding schools.

These persistent challenges suggest that Prairie Queen Elementary may be facing unique issues that the Oklahoma City School District has not been able to effectively address. Addressing the underlying factors, such as attendance barriers and poverty, may be crucial for improving student outcomes at the school. Targeted interventions and support systems, as well as greater community engagement, could be necessary to help Prairie Queen Elementary improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
