Summary

Porum Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Porum, Oklahoma, with 276 students. The school is part of the Porum School District, which is ranked 357 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Porum Elementary School faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 9.1% to 19.0% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with only 17% of all students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 26%. Additionally, Porum Elementary School has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 75-84% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in recent years.

However, the school's performance on certain subgroups, such as Native American and low-socioeconomic status students, suggests that the school may be able to leverage its strengths to improve overall student outcomes. In 2020-2021, Porum Elementary School ranked 47 out of 79 Oklahoma elementary schools for Native American students and 78 out of 506 for low-socioeconomic status students. Comparing Porum Elementary School to the nearby higher-performing schools, such as Oktaha Elementary, Quinton Elementary, and Checotah Intermediate Elementary, could provide valuable insights and opportunities for collaboration and learning.
