Summary

Spencer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in Spencer, Oklahoma, which is part of the Oklahoma City School District. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-30% of Oklahoma elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 588 out of 614 schools.

Spencer Elementary faces significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 35-39% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average of 19%. The school's academic performance is extremely low, with only 8% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, less than half the proficiency rates for the Oklahoma City district and the state as a whole. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students (over 96%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a very economically disadvantaged student population.

In comparison, nearby schools like Country Estates Elementary and Ridgecrest Elementary, while still struggling, have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and serve less economically disadvantaged populations. In contrast, Jones Elementary, about 5 miles away, is a much higher-performing school, ranking in the top 30% of Oklahoma elementary schools with 35-46% of students proficient in ELA and Math, significantly outperforming the state and district averages.
