Summary

Oologah-Talala Upper Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-5 in Oologah, Oklahoma, with 367 students. The school is part of the Oologah-Talala school district, which is ranked 190 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Oologah-Talala Upper Elementary School's academic performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with its statewide ranking and star rating fluctuating over the years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (27%), Mathematics (33%), and Science (30%) are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages. Compared to nearby schools, the school's performance is mixed, as it outperforms some schools like Claremont Elementary and Westside Elementary in certain subjects, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Roosa Elementary and Lucille Ellingwood Morrow Elementary.

The school has experienced high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 13.1% to 19.0% in recent years, which is a concern compared to the state average. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $6,968 in 2018-2019 is lower than the per-student spending of some nearby schools, and the student-teacher ratio has fluctuated between 15.9 and 18.4 in recent years, which is generally higher than the ratios at some nearby schools. Addressing these areas through targeted interventions and a comprehensive school improvement plan could help the school enhance its educational outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
