Summary

Preston Elementary School is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Preston, Oklahoma, with 416 students. The school is part of the Preston School District, which is ranked 129 out of 452 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Preston Elementary's student performance on state assessments is generally below the state average, the school stands out for its relatively strong performance in 4th grade, with proficiency rates exceeding the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school's low-socioeconomic status (SES) students perform significantly better than the state average for this subgroup, indicating the school may be effectively supporting its economically disadvantaged students. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, which is an area of concern and likely contributes to its overall academic challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, Preston Elementary generally outperforms schools like Kiefer Elementary, Schulter Elementary, and Wilson Elementary, which have even lower student performance and higher poverty rates. However, the school lags behind higher-performing schools like Morris Elementary and Beggs Elementary in the region. Addressing attendance issues and learning from the practices of these higher-performing schools could help Preston Elementary make progress in raising student outcomes.
